Voluntary Research Survey

A research study on tool usage within the engineering design center is being conducted. Participation is voluntary and involves short surveys when you enter and exit the center as well as a possible end of semester survey on your experiences. Monetary compensation, up to $70 per semester, for participation is being given. If you’d be willing to participate please visit their Consent Document.

What are Popup courses?

The Fischer EDC popup class system is designed to teach students how to use the equipment, software and processes found in the Fischer EDC. These courses help with soft skills sometimes forgotten in academic training. Some classes require prerequisites and come in two forms, online and direct instruction. More than 2,000 students take these popup classes each semester.
