The '''Open Electronics Lab''' ('''OpEL''') is an electronics lab on the second floor of [[Whittemore Hall]] run by the [[Electrical and Computer Engineering]] department. The lab is meant to be a facility open to all students needing the use of an oscilloscope or other hardware. However, it also is where students using the [[Lab-in-a-Box]] receive assistance and get assignments graded. Currently the lab only offers oscilloscopes, but a printed circuit board fabrication machine donated to the ECE department is intended for inclusion in the laboratory. =History=The Open Electronics Lab was first put together in spring of 2007 with funding from the [[Student Engineers' Council]] and equipment donated by the ECE department. This lab was located on the third floor of [[Durham Hall]], but fell apart due to personnel issues. The current lab opened in the spring of 2010. =Supported Courses={| border="1"|-| [[ECE 2074 Electric Circuit Analysis Laboratory]]|-| ECE 2984|-| [[ECE 3074 Electric Circuit Analysis]]|-|} =External Link=* #REDIRECT [http://www.opel.ece.vt.edu/ OpEL Homepage]* [httpgp://www.ece.vt.edu/news/winter07/handsonprojects.html 2007 Open Electronics Lab announcement] [[Category:Physical campus resources]][[Category:Laboratories]]
