ECE Department Laboratory Upgrades
As a result of a allocation of $210,000 by the Provost’s Office,
the ECE department has begun upgrading several ECE laboratories. All department
lab computers have been upgraded. The Optics, Controls and Instrumentation,
and Microwaves Labs will all receive new teaching and research hardware and
software. Electronics Workbench and Microwaves Office have been acquired
to support teaching, learning and research in Electronics, Microwaves, Electromagnetics
and Antennas. The Electronics lab will also be upgraded with new oscilloscopes,
and spectrum analyzers. The freshmen design lab has been equipped with new
computers, and embedded controllers for robotics. A new milling machine for
PCB and microwave circuit design has also been acquired. Upgrades will take
place throughout the fall semester as and when equipment arrives.

Grad Expo 2005:
November 2nd, 2005: The Division of Graduate Studies at California State University, Fresno will sponsor Grad Expo on Nov. 2 from 2:30 to 7 p.m. in the Satellite Student Union. Grad Expo is a major recruitment event for prospective graduate students. This is a biennial event designed to highlight the university's master's degree programs, the joint doctorate, the Certificates of Advanced Study, credential programs and the advantages of postbaccalaureate education. Currently, more than 3,000 students are enrolled in studies leading to a graduate degree at either the master's or doctoral level, or to the attainment of a credential or a certificate of advanced study.
Faculty from the College of Engineering will be present at the Grad Expo to answer questions from prospective students. For more information visit the Division of Graduate Studies web site.
