The Control Systems and Robotics lab is a multi-purpose facility. As well as offering labs in control systems and robotics, this facility is also used for a communications lab and fourth year design projects.
 
ELEC 320 Electrical Properties of Materials
Investigate how materials can be manipulated and applied to obtain desired characteristics. Detect magnetic fields with a germanium crystal, and apply calibration techniques to obtain a high quality sensor. Explore detailed characteristics of diodes, bipolar transistors and mosfets to see both interesting applications and limitations due to current, voltage and environmental factors.
labimage CENG 290 Digital Design: I
Investigate how basic electronic gates work and progress to designing a simple computer memory system.
 
labimage ELEC 360 Control Theory and Systems: I
Learn all about how to control motors (and virtually anything). Use feedback techniques to assemble and test a DC servo control system. Also, try programming a robot arm for the first time.
 
ELEC 454 Microwave Engineering
Using computer simulation, design, build and test an efficient two-stage amplifier that operates in the Giga-hertz range.
 
CENG/ELEC 499 Design Project(example-Robot Maze)
One of the more popular design projects is the robot maze. The purpose is to design and build a robot from industrial LEGO(TM) and a microcontroller. Then by adding sensors and a software algorithm, which you design, make the robot rapidly and successfully navigate through a complex environment.
