Over the
years, with the aid of several generous companies and the
support from the UPRM, I have had the opportunity of developing
or
significantly improving several facilities used for teaching
and/or research activities in the ECE Department. These include the
following laboratories:
MIL |
The MIL provides
infrastructure to
the Microprocessor Interfacing course (ICOM-5217). In this
laboratory, students enrolled in ICOM-5217 have the opportunity of
applying learned concepts in microprocessor interfacing and software
design to develop a semester-long class project consisting in the
specification, design, and prototyping of an embedded systems
application.
This facility was renovated in 2009 using institutional funds.
|
ICDL |
ICDL supports
senior- and
graduate-level activities in the design and test of analog, digital,
and mixed-signal integrated circuits and systems. The
facility
was established in 1999 with the sponsorship of Texas Instruments (TI)
under the UPRM-TI Collaborative Program. It provides
industry-grade software tools for the design entry and validation of
bipolar and MOS technologies.

» Rapid
Systems
Prototyping Lab. (RASP)
RASP
|
The
RASP Laboratory allows graduate students acquire the necessary
training, skills, expertise, and capabilities to conduct academic and
industrial research activities in the field of rapid prototyping
digital and mixed-signal electronic systems. The facility was
established in 2003 with the sponsorhip of Texas Instruments, NSF,
Intel, and Xilinx XUP.
|
ETC |
The
ETC Lab. focuses in the
integration of hardware setups and software algorithms to automate the
tasks of testing and characterizing electronic devices and circuits.
The lab was established in 2009 with the sponsorship of Texas
Instruments (TI). Other contributors to ETC include Keithley
Instruments and HP.
