Research projects in the lab
Though the primary function of the
Electrical Engineering
Circuit and Computer Laboratory is for student teaching and learning, it is available for use in any student or faculty research project. Specific ongoing research projects supported by the Electrical Engineering Circuit and Computer Laboratory include testing and building sensor circuits in
Tolga Kaya's lab.
