In addition to oscilloscopes and function generators, this lab is equipped with a Hewlett-Packard network analyzer and a curve tracer.  This additional equipment is used in the design of amplifiers, determination of diode or transistor characteristics, and many other applications. This lab is also equipped with six stations with LabView software and data acquisition systems.

Electronics Lab (Otts 129)

The equipment in this lab includes 3 HP induction motors, DC Motors, transformers, AC generators, dynamo-system, SCR training system, power analyzers, three-phase RLC load system, frequency response analyzers, mobile power scopes, etc. Recently, two sets of LabVolt testing stations was added to this lab, which greatly enhanced the ability for the power electronics and drives  related experiments.

This lab houses high frequency equipment for communication applications. The equipment includes high frequency scopes, function generators, spectrum analyzers, and a 3 GHz network analyzer.  IEEE student chapter and HKN student chapter sell parts in this lab.

Communications Lab (Otts 170)

This lab is equipped with state-of-the-art control equipment including stepper motors, balance beam, inverted pendalum, and Allen-Bradley Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs). The same PLCs that are often used in factories to control assembly or production of a product. In addition, this lab has five TMS320C50 DSP boards for signal processing purposes.

John Deere Controls Lab (Otts 063A)

The computer engineering lab serves electrical and software engineering students.  This lab is equipped with state-of-the-art computer aided design, simulation, and testing tools. Specific equipment includes Altera MaxplusII, Xilinx Foundation systems, Viewlogic, TI DSP system design tools, logic analyzers, programmers, a PCB layout system, and a fast prototyping system.

Computer Engineering Lab (Otts 108)

Electrical Engineering Department is equipped with modern laboratories in the areas of electric circuits, electronics, computers, power, optics, and communications. Electrical engineering courses, beginning in the freshman year, utilize these labs extensively. This utilization allows students to acquire a working knowledge of advanced testing and measuring devices and also provides them with valuable hands-on experience that is not available at other institutions. There are six labs in the Electrical Engineering Department at UW-Platteville. Each lab is devoted to one area of specialization.

Text Box: EE Facilities

This general purpose lab is home to freshman electrical engineering students at UW-Platteville.   This lab provides ample working space as well as basic testing and measuring equipment like oscilloscopes, function generators, DC power supplies, and gain-phase meters. In addition, this lab is equipped with six virtual bench stations to perform experiments with virtual equipment.
