Both graduate and undergraduate programs have experienced increasingenrollments, and as a result, this has severely limited “open-lab” availability. “Open-lab” hastraditionally been a time when students can access the laboratory classrooms to finish labassignments, makeup missed work, and get additional experience with the laboratoryinstrumentation.
