EECS 1011 and 1021 Lab Kit (2025/26 version)

Posted on 21 May 2025

[as of May 21, 2025, this is a public draft]

This kit is updated from 2024/25 edition of the kit with three new sensors, one extra actuator, an extra cable and "crib sheets" for Matlab and Java.

The lab kit for the two courses include the following list of items

We'll be asking the Bookstore to store 10-20 extra pumps.
