Teaching Laboratories
Advanced Microprocessor Laboratory
The Advanced Microprocessor Laboratory addresses itself
mainly to the engineering design principles of microcomputer
systems and to interfacing with various input and output devices
such as terminals, floppy disk drives, printers, analog devices
via A to D and D to A converters, and others. It covers topics
related to real-time programming. In addition to being used
in the ECE 434L
laboratory, the equipment can be used for project courses
supervised by a professor.
Computer Design Laboratory
In the Computer Design Laboratory students will students
will design, simulate, construct and test a digital system.
They will learn to select devices for their design from off-the-shelf
integrated circuits, memories, and programmable logic devices
(PLDs). They will use computer-aided design software to integrate
and test their design, to program programmable devices, and
to drive a semiautomatic wire-wrap machine. They will
learn to debug hardware using logic analyzers, logic probes
and oscilloscopes. Physical design issues affecting performance
will be explored: metastability, propagation delay,
transmission line effects, and interfacing to external systems.

Coordinated Systems and Control Laboratory
The CSC Laboratory provides lecture demonstrations for undergraduate systems
and control courses offered at ECE, ME and CHNE engineering school
departments. This lab also offers design and development projects for
advanced undergraduate students in those departments. The CSC laboratory helps
students familiarize themselves with such software as MATLAB, MATHEMATICA, CONTROL STATION,
SIMULINK, and LabView.

Digital Logic Laboratory
The Digital Logic Laboratory uses testing units especially
designed here at UNM to meet our needs. These units allow
for the construction of logic circuits using the TTL family,
CPLDs and FPGAs. These projects are developed in the ECE
238 Course.
Electronic Laboratory
The Electronic Laboratory is used by ECE 206 and
ECE 327 for the purpose of measuring basic electrical components,
dc and ac circuits using ohmmeters, voltmeters, ammeters,
and oscilloscopes. Circuit simulation using spice. Experiments
in analog and digital electronics.

High-Performance Computing Laboratory
A
fundamental problem in high performance computing is to design
high-level, architecture independent, algorithms that execute
efficiently on general purpose parallel machines. The purpose
of the High-Performance
Computing Laboratory is to advance our understanding
of the main factors required for designing practical parallel
algorithms and to develop techniques and data sets for experimentally
validating the results.

Microprocessor Laboratory
The Microprocessor Laboratory has 20 stations, each
with a Motorola M-68000 microprocessor, program memory, CRT
terminal, and parallel and serial ports. Each station is connected
to the building’s intranet which provides access to various
workstations. The workstations provide each station file storage,
access to a printer, a cross assembler and high-level programming
languages.

Microwave Laboratory
The
Microwave Laboratory is designed for seniors and first-year
graduate students to provide essential fundamentals for RF,
wireless, and microwave engineering. Students work on X-band
microwave workstations and they are trained on state-of-the-art
RF and microwave equipment.

Software Engineering Projects
Laboratory
The Software Engineering Projects Laboratory is used
primarily for the course entitled “Design and Development
of Large Software Systems” (ECE 435) which is taken by computer
engineering students in their senior year. Projects in this
course often lead to research contracts and have outside funding.
Currently available are 4 Pentium PCs running as NT clients
to Pentium NT server.

Senior Design Project
Laboratory
The SDP laboratory at room L217 provides the software and hardware
tools for design methodology and development of professional
project-oriented skills including communication, team management, and
economics. Students in ECE419 and ECE 420 courses work in teams and a
proposal for a large design is prepared in response to an industrial or
in-house sponsor.
Students work in assigned design teams to perform design work for an
industrial/in-house client. Prototypes are built and tested to sponsor
specifications, and oral and written reports made to the project sponsor.

Wireless Communications Laboratory
Founded
in 1998 with the sole aim of establishing UNM as the leading
center for teaching and research in wireless communications
science and engineering in the Southwest, the Wireless Communications
Group now has an active program involving a
sizeable number of faculty members and researchers.
