The Student Projects Lab is an environment open to all students providing the equipment, tools, and parts necessary to design, build, and test any project requiring electricity. Electrical and Computer Engineering students can benefit from this resource where class labs can be finished, new hobbies can be started, and senior design projects can be completed.
