== Introduction ==
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.

The main purposes of this page are to list the various areas Final Year (Honours) and Masters students can book a project bench and for keeping track of their allocations.
  
== General facilities ==
+
The EEE 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).
  
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 Computing Lab (IW2.31) is more suited towards software projects and contains 18 desks, each with a higher-end PC.
  
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).

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

The main purposes of this page are to list the various areas Final Year (Honours) and Masters students can book a project bench and for keeping track of their allocations.

The EEE 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 Computing Lab (IW2.31) is more suited towards software projects and contains 18 desks, each with a higher-end PC.

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).

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 on weekends and public holidays unless noted.

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

Access times
