The College of Engineering is committed to providing our faculty and students with as many technological skills as possible. Not only will this boost the students’ confidence, it will expose them to the type of equipment they will be expected to operate beyond the classroom. Many of our current Lab Benches have equipment that is over 10 years old (they have floppy disks for data storage). This proposal will provide the faculty with necessary equipment to better prepare the students while simultaneously positioning the students for success in their chosen field(s). Additionally, this equipment is needed to maintain FAU’s ABET accreditation which takes into account equipment relevance.
Specifically, we are seeking funding to upgrade the CEECS “All Access” lab EE96-205. This is the CEECS R&D and Repair Lab / Equipment & Parts Room.
EE96-205A is the CEECS “All Access” lab / Parts Room which all CEECS undergraduate & graduate students and “Fundamentals of Engineering” students have 24 hour access to.
Typically senior Design students will be inhabiting this lab all hours of the day. However, the classes / projects that will most benefit from this upgrade include:
ENG1002 - Fundamentals of Engineering (typically over 400 students weekly)
EEE4361 - Electronics 2
CDA4630 - Embedded System Design
COT4935 - Senior Seminar
Engineering Club Workshops, Meetings and Seminars
Senior Undergraduate Student Projects
This equipment will provide a window into electronics with sophistication and clarity
at an incredibly reasonable price point. This piece of test equipment allows every student to simultaneously experiment and monitor circuits under very different scenarios and measure the results accordingly. Currently the labs at EE96-205/205A do not have a Spectrum Analyzer. The Engineering department does not currently have in inventory an assortment of Specialty Probes: High Voltage (20,000V), Low Voltage Differential Probes for measuring noise in systems, Current probes 20Amp & 150Amps, and specialty Amplifiers & Antennas.
The Senior Design project(s) often use microcomputers. Currently there is one Logic Analyzer (circa 1995) for all of the CEECS labs. This multi-channel test equipment is used to facilitate the designing, testing and debugging of computer circuits. The Fundamentals of Engineering students would achieve a greater appreciation of electronics and computers by seeing the results of their lab experiments. The added benefit to this platform is that they can be upgraded and expanded as needed with more options ensuring their viability for years to come.
The upgraded lab will begin to address several points laid-out in the FAU Strategic Plan for the Race to Excellence such as:
Excellence - in teaching, research and public service
Playing to win - and helping others win
Innovation - striving for creative solutions and continuous improvement
And takes into account the Strategic Actions and Initiatives which calls to: (in part):
Complement academic learning by preparing collegiate and pre-collegiate students for success in life through employability skills and life skills developed by involvement in public service, while integrating these experiences into the curriculum - This project will encourage interdisciplinary collaboration across various campuses to provide an invaluable service to the community.
