Equipment in lab

Rooms 604 and 605 are adjacent spaces, separated by a large row of bookcases, each equipped with 20 work benches.  Room 605 is where first year students taking ECE150 Digital Logic Design, sophomores taking ECE291 Sophomore EE Projects, and juniors taking ECE393/394 Junior EE Projects I and II do their work. The 604 side is reserved for senior projects (ECE395/396). Every senior project group gets a dedicated laboratory bench for the full year. When the space is not large enough to accommodate all senior projects, bench space may be allocated in other rooms, most typically 601 (the part that is not behind the metal gate) or 608.

These rooms generally contain standard electrical engineering equipment, such as oscilloscopes, power supplies, signal generators, and the like.  Circuit components and other miscellaneous supplies are kept in this space.

  • Founded by inventor, industrialist and philanthropist Peter Cooper in 1859, The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art offers education in art, architecture and engineering, as well as courses in the humanities and social sciences.

  • “My feelings, my desires, my hopes, embrace humanity throughout the world,” Peter Cooper proclaimed in a speech in 1853. He looked forward to a time when, “knowledge shall cover the earth as waters cover the great deep.”

  • From its beginnings, Cooper Union was a unique institution, dedicated to founder Peter Cooper's proposition that education is the key not only to personal prosperity but to civic virtue and harmony.

  • Peter Cooper wanted his graduates to acquire the technical mastery and entrepreneurial skills, enrich their intellects and spark their creativity, and develop a sense of social justice that would translate into action.
