The ECE Linux “Engineering Computing Labs” cover a broad spectrum of foundational and advanced topics in computer and electrical engineering. Students will study the fundamental laws of electromagnetics and VLSI fabrication techniques, including device modeling, IC processing, and Spice simulation, alongside digital design techniques for integrated circuits. The curriculum introduces engineering design processes for both hardware and software systems, familiarizing students with industry-standard tools, practices, and skills. Core operating system concepts such as concurrency, synchronization, deadlock, CPU scheduling, memory management, and file systems are explored in depth. Networking principles are addressed through layered network architectures, the TCP/IP protocol suite, sockets, application layer protocols, Ethernet, wireless LANs, and packet switching. The lab also emphasizes distributed systems, highlighting heterogeneity, security, transparency, concurrency, and fault tolerance. Students also learn fundamental programming techniques for modern multicore, multithreaded, and parallel hardware, along with methodologies for developing large software systems, including testing and quality assurance.  Compilers and interpreters are explored through practical tools and techniques, including regular expressions, finite automata, formal grammars, lexical scanning, syntactic parsing, semantic analysis, and runtime organization. These labs also reinforce mastery of diverse programming paradigms, encompassing object-oriented, scripting, functional, and logic-based approaches.
