== Lab Bench Allocation ==
+
The SET Projects Lab (EM307) contains 24 benches, each with a digital storage oscilloscope, arbitrary function generator, tri-channel power supply, multimeter and PC. Hot desks with specialist RF equipment and mixed-signal oscilloscopes (featuring logic analysers) are also nearby in the area, as well as a small drone/rover testing area (EM306) and PCB prototyping workshop (EM315).
  
=== Projects Lab (EM307) ===
+
The Power Lab benches setup is identical to that in EM307 in most cases, but with close access to test gear suited to electrical projects (e.g. mains power analysers) and qualified personnel (e.g. electricians). 11th July 2022: area currently under refurbishment. Contact Phil in workshop opposite for further details.
Total: 24 Benches

Introduction

This page gives an overview of the various project areas and their current allocations.

Facility Location Purpose Status Access
SET Software Project Lab N204, Engineering North For dedicated systems allocated to project to run specific software, or where system is being customized and modified, or for using large datasets or require secure physical access to data and results. Available Honours/Masters students/groups can apply for a dedicated computer for their project using form.
Ad-hoc CATS computers for Honours/Masters students S326, Engineering South Ad-hoc access to systems with engineering software that will not be booked for classes and so be available for students for ad-hoc access during teaching times. Available Honours/Masters students should be able to access using swipe card.
SET Computer Simulations Lab ASPER 103, Santos Dedicated powerful system temporarily required to run medium to large simulations where other options such as HPC are unsuitable. Available Honours/Masters students/groups can apply for access to room using form.
SET Electronic Projects Lab EM307, Engineering Maths Dedicated systems allocated to project where there is a requirement to integrate with hardware. Hot desk option also available. Available Honours/Masters students/groups can apply for a dedicated computer/bench/equipment for their project using form.

The SET Projects Lab (EM307) contains 24 benches, each with a digital storage oscilloscope, arbitrary function generator, tri-channel power supply, multimeter and PC. Hot desks with specialist RF equipment and mixed-signal oscilloscopes (featuring logic analysers) are also nearby in the area, as well as a small drone/rover testing area (EM306) and PCB prototyping workshop (EM315).

The Power Lab benches setup is identical to that in EM307 in most cases, but with close access to test gear suited to electrical projects (e.g. mains power analysers) and qualified personnel (e.g. electricians). 11th July 2022: area currently under refurbishment. Contact Phil in workshop opposite for further details.

Further information regarding these areas would have been presented during the Projects Introductory Session, for which documentation should be available for through MyUni.
