Lab facilities

The  Metropolitan campus has six general-purpose computer labs with a total of  nearly 200 Intel Core 2 vPro processor computers available for student use. Four of these labs, with a total of 111 computers, are dedicated solely for majors in the School of Computer Sciences and Engineering. Also available is a multimedia lab equipped with high-resolution color printers and scanners for the production of high-quality graphics, animation and multimedia presentations. All PCs are connected to the University Network and to the Internet. All buildings, including residence halls and library, are connected with either fiber or high-speed serial links.

Programming language compilers available include Virtual BASIC.NET, C, C++,  and Assembly. Software packages for engineering and engineering technology students are MathCAD, Electronic Workbench, AutoCAD, Primavera, PSPICE, Microsoft Office Suite, Motorola Digital Signal Processing Development Software, Simulink and MATLAB with various toolboxes such as Neural Networks, Fuzzy Logic, Signal Processing, Image Processing, Communications, Control, System Identification and Symbolic Math.

Labs of interest to the electrical engineering students are the Computer and Graphics Lab, Computer Applications and Interfacing Lab, Circuits and Electronics Lab, Electronics and Communications Lab, Computer Networking and System Administration Lab, Industrial Automation and Robotics Lab, Green Energy Lab, Additive Manufacturing (3-D Printing) Lab, Electromechanical Systems Lab, Advanced Mechatronics Lab, Cyber Defense and Digital Forensics Lab (Under development), and an iLab.

A VLSI Design Laboratory features circuit design and verification tools used for both schematic based layout and VHDL synthesis based designs. The tools include Design Architect, Eldo, IC Station, Calibre, Modelsim and Leonardo Spectrum.
