Lab Projects Overview: The EENG 201 course includes lab projects which are done individually. The lab projects usually have a weekly checkpoint if the project is scheduled to take more than a week, and a final submission. Students may need to work on the lab projects outside of the scheduled weekly lab session if they are not able to finish during that time. Students will have after hours access to labs and the equipment so they can complete projects at their own pace, but each checkpoint and final submission will have a definite deadline specified when the lab project details are announced.

Lab Equipment: Labs are located in the Greenberg Engineering Teaching Concourse, students are free to use the room during the assigned lab period as well as on their own time during open lab hours. The labs require use of Quartus software and the DE1-SoC FPGA boards. Each workstation in has FPGA tools installed, as well as additional hardware will be provided during class lab time (credit card reader, LED cube, etc.). Workstation in DL 120 also have FPGA software installed. Students will be loaned one FPGA board each for the duration of the semester, the FPGA board is to be brought into lab for each lab session, and can be used outside of lab as well.

Lab Etiquette: As C045 and C043 is a shared rooms, please help keep the room clean, push in chairs, turn off monitors and lights when not in use. Part of the course grade is based on how well students help maintain clean lab environment.

Lab Sessions: All lab sessions are from 7:00pm to 9:30pm on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday. Each student will be assigned a lab session and expected to come to each lab session on their assigned day.

Open Lab Hours: Students will have access to the labs during their assigned lab section. Further "open" lab hours may be available. Please contact the lab supervisor to find out the open lab hours for the given week.

Software in DL 120: The software relevant to the projects (Quartus and optionally VirtualBox) has been installed on the computers in DL 120. For spring 2019, Quartus is on all computers in classroom and cluster areas, VirtualBox is on all computers in classroom area and PCs 03, 04, 07, 08, 11 and the one Mac in the cluster area.

Lab Report Due Dates: Following each lab project, students should submit a lab report as outlined in the lab manual. All reports (and code for latter lab projects) will be due on Sundays following last lab session of the project, at 5pm EST. Any artefacts will be due at end of last lab session for the given projects, as students cannot access the labs on Sundays.
