The purpose of the McNaughton Centre is to facilitate
IEEE student member involvement in technical projects related
to the field of electric and electronics engineering. Named after
the distinguished Canadian electrical engineer, General Andrew
G. L. McNaughton, the Centre is funded by grants from the IEEE
for the purpose of giving IEEE student members a facility where
they can carry out analysis and creation of technical projects.
The McNaughton Centre in the Engineering Building at Memorial
University of Newfoundland currently consists of a semi anechoic
chamber, a personal computer, a calibrated microphone, high quality
speakers, and an oscilloscope. These tools, along with the semi
anechoic chamber are essential for any type of acoustic analysis
and implementation project.
In the past, members of the IEEE Student Branch
have used the Centre for term eight (8) technical projects, and
independent interest projects such as the design and implementation
of electronic sound effects processors. In the future, funding
for the Centre will be used to purchase more technical equipment
suitable for a wider range of electrical technical projects, not
just acoustics and audio processing projects.
