The '''Embedded Systems Lab''' contains a varied collection of equipment and also provides suitable space for students to work together and interact with their instructor.  The lab contains ten stations, each with its own computer station and instrumentation.  Two other stations provide space and tools for soldering and other hands-on activities, and the lab arrangement allows students and instructors to easily move among stations, allowing for communication and collaboration. Multiple storage cabinets provide space to store equipment and materials for projects and classes.

Classes in the Embedded Systems Lab typically involve working with embedded systems, which can be described as a varied group of special-purpose computer systems that can be programmed to perform one or a few specific functions. Students work with micocontroller-based embedded systems and use software tools and suites to design, program, and test these systems.  Common tools and software include Renesas SDK and Sun Microsystems SunSPOTS.

The Microelectronics Lab, like the Analog and Digital Circuits Lab, is another one of our most updated and advanced labs. Each workstation, save one, has a computer, flat panel monitor, oscilloscope, multimeter, function generator, and DC power supply for two partners to work at. The last workstation has a large microscope and a logic analyzer for the students to use. There is also a second logic analyzer for students to use if the first one is already being used.

ECE 302, Microelectronics, holds their laboratory sessions in the Microelectronics Lab. Microelectronics is the introduction to the physics of semiconductors such as PN Junctions, BJTs, and MOS field effect transistors, as well as differential and operational amplifiers. Each field will also be broken up into many sub-fields that will go into more detailed concepts of how microelectronics works. The laboratory sessions are used to reinforce the concepts discussed in class. Students also make use of the lab to use Cadence PSD and PSPICE Student Edition software.
