Microelectronics Prototyping and Testing Lab
The Microelectronics Design and Characterization (MDC) Lab is equipped with measurement equipment for the support of systems electronics. As a space for systems electronics support, the lab’s technical focus is on the development and design and testing of analog, digital and mixed signal devices. Among its many uses, the MDCL firstly serves as a workspace for EECS technologists with expertise in systems electronics. MDCL serves as a resource for our 4th year capstone project students to learn sophisticated concepts through access to high-tech devices and to further apply these lessons in their working field or even their own entrepreneurial pursuits. As a foundational topic for the field of electrical engineering, the subject areas and researches supported by MDCL are very broad and include digital logic design, embedded electronics, computer architectures, very-large-scale-integration, internet-of-things, digital and wireless communications etc.
Rapid Prototyping Support (RPS) Lab is equipped with measurement equipment for the support of student teaching and design in the area of physical electronics. As a space for physical electronics support the lab’s technical focus is on the development and design of electronic devices, sensors, analog circuits etc. Among its many uses RPSL serves as resource for our students to learn sophisticated concepts in their research through access to high-tech devices (e.g. Die Bonder). With appropriate faculty and technical guidance the RPSL will provide our students unique opportunities to apply their learning at unique performance levels. As a foundational topic for the field of electrical engineering, the subject areas and hence the courses and student activities supported by the RPSL are extremely broad and include semiconductor devices and sensors, integrated circuits, signal conditioners and instrumentation, electromagnetics and antennas, electro-optics, analog communications and remote sensing.
