Lab+Safety

You should always think before you act when working in ECSE laboratories. The design lab is no different. Students should follow these safety regulations
 * Do not leave bags in the corridors as they are tripping hazards. Make sure they are placed out of the way.
 * Soldering irons can burn if improperly handled. Soldering can result in excess fumes and flying solder droplets. You should have learned about soldering safety from previous units (such as ENG1030). If you need a refresher, ask a demonstrator! Eye projection should be worn when soldering and do not
