Electrical test equipment and measurement fundamentals. Circuit and filter design using integrated circuit amplifiers.
ECE Teaching Labs
The Electrical and Computer Engineering department at Michigan State University has 10 different rooms that house all our
undergraduate laboratories. This is app 6,700 sq ft of space that houses 21 different courses. Most rooms have 2 or 3 lab courses
running in them each semester. To accomplish this, each lab is setup to be completely self contained, meaning that each lab has all
the equipment and parts in the lab for a full semester when each lab starts. Technicians check and restock the labs as needed during the semester.
In the event of equipment failure the department has spare items for most equipment and they are just exchanged. Otherwise, technicians can repair most
items in place between lab sections.
