Senior Project / Lab Equipment

Do you need to learn how to use a piece of equipment in a TECH Lab?

Do you know what you want to do for senior projects but don't have the equipment or money to buy it?

Do you have an idea for a software FOS project, but need "big data" to do it?

I have acquired many items (manuals, sensors, devices, boards) and database links over the years that can be used for TECH senior projects.

R.I.P. Kathy Atkinson

6/24/25

Kathy Atkinson, former advisor for Herff College of Engineering passed away June 17th. She had a profound impact on the college and all the students who she advised until her retirement in 2014. She was councelor, advisor and sometimes a surogate mother, to many in the college. She will be greatly missed!

Words from Her Students
"Nerf guns & Jesus boys will demarcate the most notable legacy Kathy left at the University of Memphis. A tireless advocate for students, especially the adults and commuters in her early years and future engineers in the latter ones, Kathy's compassion and passion knew no bounds. Known to take on VPs, deans, faculty and anyone in between who impeded student success or more scholarship dollars, Kathy was a champion for all students."
