Courses in this Lab
Description
The Computer Engineering Laboratory in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Texas at San Antonio supports a complete academic learning experience of the computer engineering program starting at the freshman level and going all the way to the doctoral level courses. It houses 26 PCs including one for an instructor. Each of these PCs is equipped with several development/evaluation kits and supporting software. The development kits include Infinity kit for the Introduction to Electrical Engineering (freshman-level course), Xilinx CPLD and Spartan series based FPGA evaluation kits for the newly created Logic Design laboratory course, Xilinx Spartan series based FPGA development kits for Junior level Digital Systems Design course, and Xilinx Virtex-IIPro based development kits for Senior, Graduate, and Doctoral level courses with advanced topics such as Embedded Systems, Real-time Operating Systems. The Microprocessor-based courses use FreeScale microcontroller-based kits. The hardware is supplemented with the state-of-the-art integrated software development suits. The laboratory is partially supported by FreeScale and Xilinx through equipment and development kits donations.
