Electrical and Computer Engineering

Lab Solutions
Electrical and Computer Engineering courses present unique challenges in the lab. Traditional
ECE labs center around wiring circuits and taking measurements, however the tools involved often
interfere with, rather than enhance, the learning experience. With Quanser ECE lab solutions, you
can give your students hands on experience with ECE concepts that far exceed the limitations of
breadboards and banana cables. Quanser products focus on integrated instrumentation and flexible
onboard circuitry to give students in-depth control via safe, robust, easy-to-use tools.

ANALOG ELECTRONICS
Analog circuits, including semiconductors,
amplifiers, and filters remain central to the
operation of all electronic systems. Even in our
current engineering climate of overwhelmingly
digital solutions, analog circuits are still relevant.
Quanser, together with Illuster Technologies
have created a comprehensive lab that teaches
the fundamentals and importance of analog
electronics. With AELabs, students can configure,
observe, and experiment with complex analog
circuits such as MOSFET amplifiers.

EMBEDDED SYSTEMS
In recent years, embedded microcontroller systems
have become increasingly common and accessible. Encoders
However fully leveraging these products requires
Fiber optic
an understanding of the low-level operation of
UART
microcontroller systems which is not easily
acquired. Teaching these concepts in a way which
protects hardware from damage due to human
error, while allowing for maximum flexibility
presents a unique challenge. Furthermore, a Keypad

focus on real-world embedded targets demands CAN Bus

languages. Quanser leverages the NI ELVIS
platform and the intuitive visual programming
environment of LabVIEW to allow students to
control low level functions of a PIC microcontroller.
Students can then learn how to leverage interface I2C Thermal sensor Gyroscopic sensor/Accelerometer
protocols to interact with digital systems using a Proximity sensor
proven, robust hardware implementation.

POWER ELECTRONICS
As the growth of green power leads to ever more Programmable
DC power source Transformer
complex power systems, the demand for knowledge
about energy systems is poised to grow in the
near future. Traditional power electronics labs
have always focused on large format industrial
Single-phase
hardware operating at high voltage. These systems inverter
are simply not accessible or safe enough for
students to get the hands-on experience they need
with power systems and circuits. In partnership
with National Instruments, Quanser is changing
the way students experience power electronics.
With a fully integrated lab-bench power system 3-Phase AC generator with
DC motor
operating at safe voltages, Quanser is paving the single/3-Phase rectifier
way for a new kind of electronics lab. Energy Conversion Board
