The computer engineering laboratory is equipped with various instruments and pieces of equipment serving our electrical and computer engineering students. We are currently offering several computer engineering lab-based courses, such as CPE 310-Microprocessor Systems (HCS12 Microprocessor boards and its peripheral devices, including keyboards, motors and etc.), CPE 421-Embedded System (Dragon 12 and Dragon 12-Plus microprocessor boards), CPE 454-VLSI Techniques (Magic 5.1 layout tool) and CPE 455-HDL Digital System Design (Xilinx FPGA boards and Modelsim 6.0 simulation tool). We are also applying for CCLI and Instrumentation grants from National Science Foundation and West Virginia Higher Education Commission to establish a full VLSI/FPGA laboratory and enhance the curriculum of the Electrical and Computer Engineering program.
