Lab facility

Programming Lab:

To introduce students to the basic knowledge of programming fundamentals of C language. To impart writing skill of C programming to the students and solving problems. To impart the concepts like looping, array, functions, pointers, file, structure C is a programming language developed by Dennis Ritchie at AT&T?s BELL Laboratory of USA in 1972. Because of its reliability, C is very popular. C is highly portable & it is well suited for structured programming. C program consists of collection of functions.

GCC is a Linux-based C compiler released by the Free Software Foundation which is usually operated via the command line. It often comes distributed freely with a Linux installation, so if you are running UNIX or a Linux variant you will probably have it on your system. You can invoke GCC on a source code file simply by typing.

Open Turbo C/C++ from your Desktop or Programs menu. Select “File” from Menu bar and select option “New” and Save C program with filename „.C? extension. To do compiling – Select -> Compile from menu and click-> compile. If the compilation is successful – you will see a “success” message. Else you will see the number of errors. To RUN the program – you may select ->Run from menu and click -> Run Now you will see the output screen.

Networking Lab:

The Computer Networks Laboratory is designed for the undergraduate students to have the experiment related to the computer networks courses. The experiment includes network cabling, installation and configuration of network devices, analysis and application of network protocols, design and management of network systems.

The laboratory equips with a few groups of computer network systems designed for the students to learn the concepts of the communication technologies in LANs and WANs, and in Routing and Switching (Figure 1). These systems are located at a separated standard equipment room and can be remotely accessed through the computer terminals.

Lots of various enterprise-level network equipment exists in the laboratory, including advanced routers, Ethernet switches, IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n wireless access points, and the tools for cable making and testing (Figure 2), allowing the students to practice the skills of network engineering in cabling, installation and troubleshooting.

The software of computer network simulator is installed (Figure 3) in the computers of the laboratory, used for the students to learn how to design and manage some typical medium-size to large-size network systems.

At last, as a Cisco Networking Academy in Macau over 10 years (Figure 4), the laboratory offers some training courses of the internationally recognized Cisco certification exams for the students and the staffs of the university, and thus helps lots of them to become professional network engineers in their career.

AI Lab:

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a general term that implies the use of a computer to model and/or replicate intelligent behavior. Research in AI focuses on the development and analysis of algorithms that learn and/or perform intelligent behavior with minimal human intervention. These techniques have been and continue to be applied to a broad range of problems that arise in robotics, e-commerce, medical diagnosis, gaming, mathematics, and military planning and logistics, to name a few. Several research groups fall under the general umbrella of AI in the department, but are disciplines in their own right, including: robotics, natural language processing (NLP), computer vision, computational biology, and e-commerce. Specifically, research is being conducted in estimation theory, mobility mechanisms, multi-agent negotiation, natural language interfaces, machine learning, active computer vision, probabilistic language models for use in spoken language interfaces, and the modeling and integration of visual, haptic, auditory and motor information.

The name “artificial intelligence” covers a lot of disparate problem areas, united mainly by the fact that they involve complex inputs and outputs that are difficult to compute (or even check for correctness when supplied). One of the most interesting such areas is sensor-controlled behavior, in which a machine acts in the real world using information gathered from sensors such as sonars and cameras. This is a major focus of A.I. research at Yale.

DBMS Lab:

Structure Query Language(SQL) is a database query language used for storing and managing data in Relational DBMS. SQL was the first commercial language introduced for E.F Codd's Relational model of database. Today almost all RDBMS(MySql, Oracle, Infomix, Sybase, MS Access) use SQL as the standard database query language. SQL is used to perform all types of data operations in RDBMS.

A database management system (DBMS) is computer application software that provides a way to manage data. The requirement of modern days is to have an automated system that manages, modifies and updates data accurately. This is achieved by a DBMS in robust, correct and non redundant way. DBMS lab aims at practicing and achieving this aim by using various software’s such as SQL, ORACLE, and MS – Access etc. All these require a thorough practice of various DDl, DCL and DML queries.

Advance Programming Lab:

This module aims to introduce the students to some concepts of advanced programming and practice on reusing components. It focuses on Graphical User Interface (GUI), multithreading, networking, and database manipulation. A selected programming language is used such as Java. By completing this module, the students should be able to write sophisticated Java applications.

This module exposes students to the depth and breadth of modern programming practice, with the goal of making students better programmers. It is, however, an advanced level module in which some advanced programming concepts are taught.

Knowledge and understanding - Understand some advanced programming concepts - Deal with complex data objects as whole entities, rather than by twiddling with their elements • Cognitive skills (thinking and analysis). - Define the problem and write large programs - Analyze a problem and determine what problem elements to represent as functions or objects • Communication skills (personal and academic). - Write the simplest possible program that solves a given problem while explaining to the reader how it solves that problem • Practical and subject specific skills (Transferable Skills). - Effectively use parameterization and inheritance to promote reuse - Develop programs with networking and multithreading - Compose more complex programs from simpler parts - Write programs that implement GUIs.
