 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.

Contact Nader Vadiee at 277-1200, or manimar@unm.edu for more info on the CSC lab!

The CSC Laboratory's 8 Stations include:

  • Rotary Pendulum system - PositionControl
  • Translational Inverted Pendulum System
  • Three Tank System
  • Magnetic Levitation System
  • Rhino Robot Module
  • Adept Robot
  • LabView Set-up
  • On-line Experiment Set-up

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.

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.
