Digital Design lab

• Serves
• COE 200 ( Intro to computer engineering ) course
  which is a basic courses in this field.
• Equipments
• FPGA boards, hardware/software tools, integrated
  circuits and discrete components. This lab
  introduces the students to the practical side of
  the theory of digital logic.

Teaching Laboratories

• Microprocessor-based systems lab
• This lab supports teaching COE 305
  (Microprocessor Based Systems). Microprocessor
  development kits based on 8085 microprocessors ,
  an 8086 microprocessor , and peripheral chips are
  provided. In this lab , COE 305 students are
  taught to design an 8086 based system and program
  it. The students connect their systems to
  input/output units which is also designed by them

Teaching Laboratories

• System Design lab
• This lab supports COE 400 ( Digital System Design
  ) . It houses oscilloscopes , computers, and
  prototyping kits for design and testing projects.
  The lab allows students to integrate their
  knowledge in hardware and software to design,
  implement, debug and document a major digital
  system. The twin learning experiences of making
  hardware versus software decisions, and
  participating in structured design are preferably
  integrated into the same project.

Teaching Laboratories

• Computer Networks lab
• The main purpose of the computer networks
  laboratory is to support courses related to
  networking and data communications. This 
  includes local area networks, wide area networks
  and other network services. The idea behind this
  is to enhance the theory taken by the students in
  these courses through conducting different
  projects using the networking equipment available
  in the lab.  It also supports research and senior
  projects conducted by faculty and students.

Teaching Laboratories

• Printed Circuit Board lab
• This lab supports COE 400 (Digital System Design)
  and senior projects. The lab houses all equipment
  and chemicals necessary to make a professional
  printed circuit board starting from scratch. In
  addition , the lab has computer system and a
  plotter to make professional PCB layouts.
