The History of the Lab
The first laboratory opened in Jobst Hall, the old Engineering Building in early Fall 2007. It originally supported students of Dr. Malinowski's two out of, at that time, four elective courses: RTOS and UCLx, see the acronym list below.
In Spring 2021, the lab moved to the new building, Business and Engineering Convergence Center. That coincided with overhauling contents of RTOS, and adding support for a new elective course CIAC.
In the late Spring 2024, the lab was enhanced by addition of three PLC stations utilized for final projects in CIAC. Because of variety of embedded platforms, only those needed in the particular semester are deployed while others are securely stored out of view. Since addition and later expansion of CIAC, eTCP is no longer offered at regular basis.
