Electronics Hub

John Bardo Center, Room 106

 

Located on the first floor of the John Bardo Center, the Electronics Hub is provided to assist students in the assembly and testing of electronic devices that are required for most design projects today. The Electronics Hub is outfitted to allow students to take electronics circuits from the breadboard, to the printed circuit board.

 

In addition, this lab has been outfitted with a netting cage and Vicon Vero camera system, allowing for indoor flight tests and motion capture.
