The '''Integrated Circuit Design Lab''' contains 31 student workstations in order to accommodate courses with larger class sizes.  Each workstation runs Red Hat's Enterprise Linux distribution and contains powerful current-generation hardware and the maximum amount of system memory, providing students with powerful and efficient machines to use for programming and simulationThese powerful machines and industry applications are provided thanks to the support of the ECE Department's industry partners, including Synopsys, Mentor Graphics, and Cadence.
 
 
 
Classes in this lab primarily focus on integrated circuits, a major foundation of modern electronicsTopics range from analog circuits to more complex concepts such as VLSI (very-large-scale integration) and ASIC (application specific integrated circuits)Students utitlize a wide range of softwares and tools as well as FPGA development hardware for assignments and projects that require computer modeling and simulation, debugging, and verification.

Analog and Digital Circuits Lab

The Analog and Digital Circuits Lab provides a mix of computers and equipment for our students, and the open arrangement allows for instructors to easily move between stations to provide support and instruction. Each of the 13 student workstations includes an oscilloscope, function generator, digital multimeter, and power supply, and is large enough to allow students to work in teams. Additionally, the small-form factor computers at each station give students additional workspace for lab assignments and hands-on work. The lab also contains ample storage for tools, components and equipment as well as a drill press station for more advanced lab assignments.
