ECMS has various areas for EEE Final Year (Honours) and Masters project students to obtain technical support, access a lab PC, or use various tools and equipment for their project work through. The main purposes of this page is to list these showing access times, and for keeping track of project bench allocations.
+
This page gives an overview of the various project areas and their current allocations.

Below is a list of areas around ECMS for general support and facility access. An overview of these areas and general procedures for gaining support were given during your Introductory Session. Please refer to its documentation on MyUni for more info.
+
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).
  
−
All areas (excluding those with general 24/7 access) are not available on weekends and public holidays unless noted.
+
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.

The EEE Projects Lab 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 logic analysers are also available nearby. The Computing Lab on the other hand is more suited towards software projects and contains 18 desks, each with a higher-end PC. The Electrical projects labs also has benches with the same equipment as in EM307 in most of its areas, however with closer access to test gear and staff support more suited to (higher-power) electrical projects such as solar test rigs and three-phase power.

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.

Project bench allocations

Below is info on access times and the current state of bookings. A hyphen (-) indicates not allocated. All areas (excluding those with general 24/7 access) are not available outside standard business hours unless noted.

An induction needs to be completed in order to gain access to the areas below and be allocated a bench.
