Laboratory<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering has thirteen \"\"research laboratories, each with an average area of 2,000 square feet.\u00a0 Two main communications laboratories, the Fiber Optic Research Laboratory and Software Communications and Navigation System Laboratory, are used for student activities. Dr. Shadaram\u2019s Fiber Optic Research Laboratory has several laser transmitters, RF and optical modulators, optical amplifiers, a 3 GHz spectrum analyzer, several low-hi frequency oscillators, more than 30 km of fiber optic links, several power supplies and numerous optical and RF devices.\u00a0 The laboratory also has its own computer network with seven workstations. Students have access to several simulation packages such as VPI Virtual Photonic, Matlab and Pspice.\u00a0 Dr. Akopian\u2019s Software Communications and Navigation Systems Laboratory has various wireless system development boards, RF-Front ends, a wireless network testbed, positioning tools and receivers, six workstations and two servers.\u00a0 The REU participants will utilize the lab space for their experiments and simulations.\u00a0 They will use the individual cubicles and desks, equipped with PCs, for drafting their reports, presentations and private meetings with their mentors.<\/p>\n

Computer<\/strong><\/p>\n

The research laboratories used for telecommunications are well equipped with network of personal computers loaded with all necessary software packages (VPI, MATLAB, PSPICE, etc.).\u00a0 In addition to the research laboratories computing facilities, resources are exclusively available to the students enrolled in the College of Engineering.\u00a0 The Engineering computing facilities include PC lecture room, CAD lecture\/lab, and several PC Laboratories (more than 100 Dell computers).\u00a0 Computers and data acquisition systems are also available at many other laboratories in the College. \u00a0\u00a0Basic application software (word processing, spreadsheet, etc.) are available at all university-wide computer facilities.\u00a0\u00a0 Some computational software (e.g., MATLAB, LabView, etc.) are also available in the college computation facilities<\/p>\n
