electrical and computerdisciplines. The goal of this paper is to utilize the Pico W as an inexpensive alternative to the dataacquisition hardware used for lab projects in electrical and computer engineering and engineeringtechnology programs. First, lab projects are shown to introduce students to MicroPython (a smallsubset of the Python standard library), Thonny (the software development environment for writingPython code and downloading it to the Pico W), and API functions for peripheral control. Examplesinclude LED control, analog input, OLED display, and a web server. Then, data acquisition projectsare shown to illustrate the design of measurement systems. These include the design of atemperature measurement system and a digital voltmeter system
