    Note: Many questions are answered in the student network guide. I suggest you read it first before seeing the guys in ENG439 because that's the first thing they will ask you. Student Guides
  • Lab Kits: Several courses require a kit of electronic parts (see home page), kits are supplied by Active Tech Electronics. Sales info will be posted in your D2L Brightspace course page.
    Please note: You are free to source your own parts, but it will take time and may cost your more money in the long run. The department recommends that each student have their own set of kits.
