Guidant Lab

The Embry-Riddle University/Software Center was created in summer of 1996. The center is designed to involve students and faculty in software engineering research by engaging industry sponsored projects. The partnership between the Guidant Corporation and Embry-Riddle University has been established through the implementation of Guidant Program in the fall of 1998.

Guidant Lab

The program’s vision is to advance Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University’s leadership in the field of safety critical software intensive systems. Guidant’s partnership allows for valuable industry feedback. This feedback is used as a means to measure the viability and success of the program’s mission: to facilitate the professional development of both students and faculty.

The research conducted provides faculty with valuable information to be taken to the classroom environment, as well as transmitted back to Guidant through faculty exchange programs.

Real-Time Lab

The lab currently is used by the class (CEC320) doing experiments with cross-development in assembly with Motorola 68000 boards and external peripheral devices (controllers, switches, displays). Students in (both graduate MSE545, MSE655 and undergraduate CS450) may use the lab to work on their assigned projects. The laboratory is designed to be used for such courses as: Computer Organization, Real-Time Systems, Interfacing, Concurrent and Distributed Computing, Software Safety, Computer Architecture, Networking, etc.

Additionally, in the adjoining Team Software Lab, we have eight RS6000 IBM workstations used primarily for Simulation (MODSIM), Computer Graphics (OpenGL), Software Engineering (Teamwork), and Robotics (ProEngineering) class. In the Team Lab we have installed four Silicon Graphics Indigo Workstations, used jointly with Math Department for visualisation and graphics software.

Computer Systems Design Lab

This lab is currently being used by the Computer Engineering Senior Project course.
