Labs
Electronics and Communication Engineering program in Smart Village has the vision to graduate engineers who can deal with most of the society nowadays challenges heading them to innovation. Our specialization allows our graduates to utilize their technical built up skills in plenty of fields such as Health, Transportation, Satellites, Aerospace communication, Automation systems, Internet of things (IoT), and Smart solutions.
- The Student would be able to recognize the components used in electronics circuits.
- Learn to follow and understand electronic schematic diagrams and be able to construct electronic devices by following schematic diagrams.
- Using Schematic designing softwares to test and simulate his circuit and implement it on a PCB (Printed Circuit Board).
- Study microcontrollers and microprocessors and their uses in our everyday life and be able to program them and implement them in complex projects.
- Understand the basic physics of semiconductor electronic devices and the importance of electrons and holes in semiconductors.
- Studying the materials used in the fabrication.
- Develop an understanding of how electronic devices such as transistors and diodes are actually manufactured and built.
- Understanding the basic concept of wired and wireless communications.
- Study different types of communications methods :
- 2G/3G/4G Mobile Communications
- Satellite Communications
- Optical Communications
- Develop practical knowledge about theories of analog and digital communications.
- Develop an understanding about the performance of communication systems in Telecom Companies (i.e. Orange , Etisalat , Vodafone).
- Understanding the basic concept of transmitting a signal from one place to another
- Illustrate the different types of antennas.
- Developing knowledge on the factors affecting the antenna parameters such as coverage , radiation pattern and directivity.
- Design different types of antennas and simulate the signal propagation used in these types.
The target of the lab is to make students familiar with Smart Cities and IoT applications. Hence, the department decides to make this lab a workspace for the students to design and implement Smart Cities Applications by means of IoT technologies projects. Generally, the students from semester 4 up to the final semester are currently working in the lab. The lab is based on a computer network and open-source hardware (Arduino and Raspberry Pi). The students also do their meetings at the lab to discuss their designs with supervision from the department.
- Several Projects are found in the lab for example:
- Smart Indoor Greenhouse (Final Project)
- Smart Home
- Smart Museum
- Smart Road
- CNC for PCB circuit design
- Robotic Arm for different applications (Industry 4.0 Concept first phase)
- Remoted cars by hand and computer.
