ECE 5320 / 6322 Lab Website

Unfortunately, we will not be able to get all of the parts working to demonstrate the full ECE5322/6320 system before the end of the semester.  There are of course a whole series of problems contributing to this, mostly a lack of engineer time. So, we will not be "doing" labs 7,8.  Lab 6 will be our last lab, so if you are already finished with this lab, please turn in your work to your TA's homework return locker.  This lab is due one week after you did the lab (ie. this week).  There is no formal final report required, either (please, please, no tears about this one).  Bryan and I will be finishing the lab testing after the semester is finished.  If you would like to join us, and test out your full circuit, please email me, and I will email you when we have all parts working.I am sorry we ran into this snag.  Never underestimate the pain of delays in engineering projects!  CFurse

Due Dates:

 

Prelab

Due at start of lab

Bring to Lab with you

Do this in your notebook.  Copy your notebook and turn in the COPY.

Some of these designs are done as portfolio homework.  Turn in a copy BOTH for the portfolio and for the lab.

Lab Notebook/Results

Due at the start of lab the next time YOU go to lab.

Bring to lab with you OR leave it in your TA’s homework locker by the ECE office

Do this in your notebook.  Copy your notebook and turn in the COPY.

Each STUDENT should turn in a separate notebook copy.
