Useful information about the labs

The Lab TA will attend the first hour of each of the four lab sections.  If you would like help outside of this time, please e-mail the TA by clicking the link above.

You do not have to attend a lab section if you don't need any help from the TA.

The lab sessions will meet for instruction and tips at the scheduled times in EL104C. The easiest way to get to this room is by walking down the narrow hallway past the door of the IEEE office.  There are only six workstations in EL 104C so some students will need to work in the PC or Sun Lab.

Please be on time.  The instruction period will take place in the first 10 or 15 minutes.

The TA is not available for the Tuesday morning (8:30 am) lab session.  If you need help, attend one of the other sessions or arrange for help with him via e-mail.

You can do the lab in the Sun Lab, the PC lab or anywhere else that Matlab/Simulink is installed.

Labs can be turned in directly to the TA or on the ECE 4660 shelf in the copy room adjoining the ECE office.
