Three of our six faculty members are registered professional engineers: one in Texas, one in Texas andFlorida and one in California. This establishes a diversity of background in that each state has differentprocedures and statutes for the maintenance of registration.Collectively, the EE faculty have over 100 years of experience teaching engineering with forty-five yearsof government or industry practice to enhance it. The research backgrounds are sufficiently diverse toallow a good distribution of specialties without overtaxing any individual. The nature of our graduateprogram is such that we can allow for a significant overlap into upper division electives so that theundergraduate program is enhanced while avoiding teaching overload in the areas served by dual-listedcourses (graduate courses at the master's level that may be taken by senior undergraduates). The level ofscholarship by the faculty is exceptional given our size.

EE Faculty Scholarly Activity since 2001.6. FacilitiesThe university and the EE Department maintain an adequate number of classrooms, facilities andcomputing resources.6.1 ClassroomsAll of the classrooms used by the EE Department are in the Cherry Engineering building. All of theseclassrooms are equipped with computer projection equipment and multimedia facilities including Internetconnections. Cherry 1103, the EE Library/Seminar room is available for seminars and meetings and isused for ELEN4101/4102 EE Seminar.6.2 Laboratories and EquipmentThe department maintains four teaching laboratories:Computer Lab – Cherry 1306Used for EE student computer access and instruction.10 PC Workstations.Circuits/DSP Lab – Cherry 1401Introduction to EE, Circuits and Electronics labs are taught.EE Program Self-Study Report-2006 32
20 ELVIS/DSP WorkstationsSome senior and graduate student project work is also allowed.Senior Projects Lab – Cherry 1006Used for ELEN4206/4207 Senior ProjectsSome graduate projects permitted as needed.Machines Lab – Cherry 1403Used for ELEN3109 Electrical Machines LaboratoryThis lab contains 5 LabVolt workstations and electrical machinery.Since our last ABET accreditation (2001) several changes were made to our teaching laboratories:1. Circuits lab was updated with 20 National Instruments ELVIS stations, 20 TI DSPdevelopment systems and 20 computer workstations to support them.2. Wireless networking was installed. Hardwire network drops were added.3. Whiteboards were added to senior projects lab.4. Electronic locks were added for security and to give students easier and more frequentaccess.5. MATLAB, LabView to include Visual Application Builder, MultiSim and Visual C++were identified as the primary software packages to support student instruction. Copies ofthis software are distributed throughout the labs for easy and continuous student access.6. Department server http://ee.lamar.edu was established in 2002 (see infrasture below).6.3 InfrastructureAll graduate students pursuing the MSEE or DE degrees have their office space where they can meetwith students as required if they are assisting with or grading courses. Students have several rooms wherethey can meet that include the IEEE/HKN student lounge and the entire atrium area in the CherryEngineering building for studying and gathering. EE seniors have access to the senior projects laboratorywhere they can meet with their teams. All EE students may request computer lab (Cherry 1306) accesscodes to use department software, develop materials using the Microsoft Office Suite, perform researchon the web or browse for recreation.The College of Engineering maintains two large general access computer labs with daytime accessperiods. The University maintains computer labs in the Library that are open during library hours forstudent use.In 2002 the department established a webserver, ee.lamar.edu, to support department activities. Since thattime, all student lab materials have been published to the server, information regarding the department interms of students, faculty, staff and alumni are readily accessible. For this ABET cycle we are publishingour entire ABET materials set. The server enhances our departmental presence, provides a showcase fordepartment activity and a data source for students as well as other stakeholders.EE Program Self-Study Report-2006 33
