The Electronics Laboratory in The Department of Engineering & Technology is used for a variety of courses in industrial technology,
engineering technology, and manufacturing engineering.
The basic equipment provided at each of ten lab
benches includes:
In addition, two Hampden
Engineering DC/AC motor instrument stands are available for
use in the Industrial Electronics course. In 2001, the Department
received an NSF Course, Curriculum and Laboratory Improvement grant
which has provided funds for the computers as well as new oscilloscopes.

| Graduate teaching assistants augment
the instructional staff in many laboratories. A generous grant from
the National Science Foundation has allowed us to upgrade the electronics
lab with state of the art computer testing and measurement equipment
provided by Dell computers. |
|
| The electronics lab currently accommodates
36 students in a lecture-and-laboratory format which allows rapid
coordination between theoretical study and practical experience on
the bench. |
|
| The lab houses ten separate workstations
designed to accommodate two students each. Each station in equipped
with a computer and word-processing software so that students can
dynamically create lab reports while collecting data. The computers
also contain Multi-Sim software which dramatically enhances the accuracy
and speed of laboratory testing. |
