Lab Space

We have three labs WSC105, 106 and 108. Each lab can accommodate up to a maximum of 48 students.

Workstations

WSC 105 – (48) Linux Desktop computers
WSC 106 – (49) Linux Desktop computers
WSC 108 – (49) Linux Desktop computers

All workstations are Rocky Linux based and run the standard set of applications available on all EECS Linux hosts.

These machines can be used to hold timed exams under labtest mode where external web access can be controlled (e.g: What websites to access).

Lab Kits

First Year Engineering EECS Lab Kit

Beginning in fall 2020. We have developed a capable and easy to use lab kit for EECS1011/1021 based on Arduino and SeeedStudio Grove system. This Kit allows students to gain skills interacting with and troubleshooting hardware as well as writing programs that can interact with the world.

Grove Beginner Kit
Grove Mosfet
Grove Capacitive Soil Moisture Sensor
AAx4 Battery Holder
6-12V Brushless Submersible Water Pump & Tubing
Screwdriver
Digital Multimeter
