The Devices Lab

LWSN B160 has been specially equiped for device/embed systems development and it also houses all of the special devices, that's available for use to Computer Science Students in LWSN instructional labs.

Devices are to be used for senior projects, course projects, club projects, and personal experiments. These devices are to be used for educational and exploratory purposes, and not for malignant and monetary applications.

These devices can be checked out for 1 week. At the end of the period if no one has placed a hold on that device then, it is eligible to be checked out again for another week.

If a device has been reserved by an event or a course, then it cannot be checked out or be placed on hold within that time frame.
