The ECE 480 Lab is open from 8 in the morning until 5 in the afternoon, Monday through Friday, closed on weekends.  After team formation, each team will receive a key code allowing them access to the lab whenever the Engineering Building is open.  No student is ever allowed to work in the laboratory alone, outside of 8:00am - 5:00pm Monday-Friday -- when the next-to-last person leaves the lab, so must the last person, for reasons of safety and security.  A severe penalty for the entire team will accompany any infraction of this policy.

Attendance at the scheduled lab is mandatory until the currently assigned miniproject has been completed and turned in.  If you complete and your TA accepts your miniproject during the first week it is assigned, you do not need to come to lab during the second week.  After all four miniprojects have been turned in, lab attendance becomes optional, but the TA may be called on to assist you, typically by arrangements via email.
