Engineering Students Gain More Design Space

Introduction to Engineering Design (ELEC 201) is a popular course among both engineering and other majors because it includes a semester-long, hands-on project to design robots that compete against one another in one-on-one duels. Now students can play with their design projects in a newly renovated ECE lab located in Abercrombie Lab A141, which is also called the LEGO lab. The renovated lab in Abercrombie is also used by several of the department’s other laboratory courses. Meeting the needs for more intense lab experiences, this fall the department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) celebrated newly renovated teaching labs equipped with more storage space and additional work stations.
