Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can I access the labs if I study 100% online?
Yes. Labs-as-a-Service (HIL/SIL, HPC) and optional in-person time slots are available.
How do I cite standards and data in my Master's thesis?
The library offers guides and Zotero styles; standards cite “standard + edition + sections used.”
Is there a cost to use the maker space?
Basic use is included; consumables and special materials are charged at cost price.
Can I bring my own sensors/equipment?
Yes, with prior inspection by the Lab Technician and risk sheet.
Do you accept projects involving sensitive data?
Yes, in segregated environments with access controls; may require ethical/export approval.
