| If you are a senior and you need tools for your project and don’t want to return them, check them out from the toolroom. If we don’t have them, speak with your advisor and we can see about getting them. In the meantime, put them back. If you are an employee and need equipment and/or tools in your place of employment, do not abscond with the tools on the wall. You may certainly use them, but you must put them back. If you want tools permanently in your shop, ask the technician and the problem can be remedied. | | If you are a senior and you need tools for your project and don’t want to return them, check them out from the toolroom.

− | There is A/V equipment in the corner of the space. Best to just leave it alone. It is used for assemblies by trained professionals. You shouldn’t try this. And it is pretty boring.

− | There are storage shelves in the senior design corridor across from the Environmental lab. If you want to store your project there, this is fine. Just label your shelf. Feel free to use the blue carts to move it into the Maker Hub for work. We will be working more on the storage options.

− | Within the Hub, there are some semi-permanent workstations:
| |
− | Sewing Station
| |
− | The sewing station is located next to the Prototype Lab and consists of 2 sewing machines and 1 serger. Use of the sewing equipment requires specialized training.
| |
− | Vinyl Cutting Station
| |
− | The vinyl cutting station sits in front of the windows of the Prototyp Lab. The vinyl cutter consists of a vinyl cutter and a vinyl printer. These are useful for making signs, stickers and other fun things.
| |
− | Use of this station requires specialized training. In addition to the vinyl cutter, there is a large roll of butcher paper available. This does not require special training. You pull it and tear it off. If you cannot operate this piece of equipment, please leave the space and change your major.
| |
− | Electronics Stations
| |
− | There are two electronics stations currently installed in the Hub. These workbenches each contain a soldering station with soldering mat, oscilloscope, multimeter, power supply, and signal generator.
| |
− | Located at the end of the station is a cabinet used for holding various electronic cables and wires needed for working with equipment.
| |
| | | |
| When using the electronics station, it is, as always, imperative that you RESET THE SPACE. Clean up all solder paste, stripped wires, etc., and put everything back where you found it, putting the cables back where they go. | | When using the electronics station, it is, as always, imperative that you RESET THE SPACE.
