Maricopa Advanced Technology Education Center


MATEC is the worldwide leader in education and industry collaboration, supporting the ongoing development of a highly skilled workforce.
Through the creation of competency-based curriculum, diverse and effective professional development training and opportunities, and replicable workforce/program development models and offerings, MATEC affects change in the field of Semiconductor Manufacturing Technology (SMT) education. MATEC’s materials and services are a collaborative effort between education and industry, working through a close and responsive partnership between the public and private sector. As the need for more highly skilled technicians in the semiconductor manufacturing field grows, MATEC has positioned itself to continue to be the leader in SMT education and industry collaboration.

A remote laboratory, or iLab, has been developed by the MIT iLab Project in cooperation with MATEC as part of the eSyst Project. This iLab is based on the National Instruments ELVIS II platform and will provide a versatile online electronics test and analysis environment for students of the eSyst curriculum. Most of the functionality of the standard ELVIS II platform is available through this iLab, enabling students to perform experiments in both the time and frequency domain as well as allowing them to supply test signals (sinusoids, square waves) or selected audio samples as input to the system under test. Further, an audio-enabled webcam has been integrated with this iLab so that students will be able to see and hear the lab.
For its initial release, the eSyst Analog Systems iLab will be used in the eSyst Solid State Systems Course where students will use it to test a multistage analog audio system. As an iLab, only a single laboratory setup will be needed in order to support all of the institutions implementing the eSyst curriculum. Moving forward, this iLab will be integrated into other eSyst course curricula, allowing students and instructors to take full advantage of this remote laboratory.
