is supported using National Instruments Electronic Laboratory Virtual Instrument Systems(ELVIS). This would include Intro to EE, Circuits, Electronics, Digital Design,Microcomputers and Senior Design labs. Students entering the program and takingELEN1101 Introduction to <strong>Electrical</strong> Engineering purchase a "<strong>LUEE</strong> ELVIS" prototypingboard (see Figure 7-1 below) and parts kit. This board was designed specifically for ourprogram and is used by an <strong>LUEE</strong> student throughout their time in the program. The onlyexception to this is in the microcomputer lab, where an Agilent ELVIS board is used, and inthe power lab, where LabVolt stations are used. The ELVIS system is programmed inLabVIEW and <strong>LUEE</strong> students are given an early introduction to it's use and continue to useit throughout the program.Figure 7-1. <strong>LUEE</strong> ELVIS BoardLabVIEW, MATLAB and MultiSim are installed on all undergraduate laboratory computers.As mentioned above, LabVIEW is used for laboratory and general simulation work.MATLAB is taught in ELEN3381 <strong>Electrical</strong> Analysis and then is used in the lab forELEN3441 Fundamentals of Power when students prepare lab reports on their lab findings.MATLAB also features in homework assignments for various courses in the program andmost of the textbooks we use are "with MATLAB". MultiSim is used for all of our electronicscourses and students in ELEN4206/4207 Senior Design have access to UltiBoard schematiccapture software and our T-Tech PC Board Mill, located in the prototyping facility.42
