Microprossesor Interfacing Laboratory
From Micro2Wiki
Vision
The Microprocessor Interfacing Laboratory (MIL) has as vision to provide the most advanced education environment for the development of microprocessor interfacing and embedded systems applications in Puerto Rico.
Mission
Its mission is to enable undergraduate and graduate students acquire the necessary skills to design and prototype electronics systems based on microprocessors and embedded controllers.
Activities
The MIL provides infrastructure to the Microprocessor Interfacing course (ICOM 5217). Here, undergraduate and graduate students in Computer and Electrical Engineering have the opportunity of applying learned concepts in hardware and software design to develop typical applications of embedded computers through a semester-long class project. The typical cycle includes writing a project proposal, designing and implementing it, and demonstrating its functionality in a working prototype. These activities promote in the students the development of practical engineering thinking, team-working, and communication skills in a setting where professional criteria prime in every design decision.
Sponsors
The MIL is mainly supported by institutional funds from the UPRM and the generous donations of the following companies:
