The
Engineering Laboratories in UCSI are managed by the School of Engineering.
These facilities are staffed by a Laboratory Team consisting of a Head
Tutor, several Engineering tutors and two Lab Assistants. There are 8 labs
including the following:
There are multiple
stations with dedicated PCs and various software are available in this
lab required for the final year subjects and the projects. The equipment
and software available here are: CPLD Trainers, Fiber Optics Trainers,
MPLAB, Active-VHDL, Modelsim, Xilinx Foundation and Webpack, Wavemaker,
PCB123, Orcad PSpice, Electronics Workbench, TMS320C5X DSK, Microstation
and Server-based software such as Matlab and Microwave Office, which are
accessible through the campus-wide network. Matlab software consists of
various additional toolboxes such as Power System Blockset, Signal
Processing, Image Processing, Neural Network, Communication Blockset,
Fuzzy Logic and Control Systems.

The lab is also equipped
with Digital Oscilloscopes, Spectrum and Network Analyzer, used to
verify the results of the microstrip antennae, designed using Wavemaker
or Microwave Office software and will be fabricated upon completion of
design. The TMS320C5X DSK is used to construct simple and complex
digital filters using the knowledge acquired in Digital Signal
Processing. Active-VHDL software is used for digital design and VLSI
design.
- Electrical & Electronics Laboratory 1 &
2
Laboratory equipment
includes 20 workstations; each workstation consists of test and
measurement equipment such as Oscilloscope, Function generator,
Analog/Digital DC power supply, Analog/Digital Multimeters. The two
laboratories are comparable to the standards set by universities abroad
and able to cater up to 60 students for one session.
