Lab

Weekly lab details will be available on the main course website. All prelab assignments will be conducted individually. Some in-lab activities will be conducted in pairs. All lab assignments will be weighted equally by weeks (2-week labs count twice as much as 1-week labs) and will be evaluated using a checklist provided by the instructor.

You will need to keep track of the time you spend each week on the lab assignments and enter it in the FAST system. The FAST system is only available on campus or via MSOE's VPN. Your student ID number is your initial password. FAST provides both you and me with easy access to your time summary information. You are encouraged to enter your times regularly (after completing each lab assignment) and they will be checked at variousduring the quarter. You may wish to use this Excel spreadsheet to keep track of your time.
