breadboard, and tools (small pliers, wire cutters, wire
strippers). All are available from the Electrical Engineering
Student Club.
Access via eClass using CCID

Design Lab
The labs run Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays.

Students may take any lab section they wish.

We encourage students to work in teams of two, but

this is not required; students may choose to work alone.
Maximum of two students per group, though. Both
students in a group must be officially registered in the
same lab section.

Students needing help with lab registration should

contact the undergraduate student advisor, AnnMarie.

There are no labs this week, but there is a one-hour lab

intro session next week, on
Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday. All students must attend.
