What is the Hacklab?
The UTM Hacklab is an MCS department initiative made for the students of UTM. We're located in room 2014 in UTM's Deerfield Hall building.
A collaborative project space
Projects are an important component of a student candidate's evaluation package because technology companies are looking for students that:
- Have experienced the exploratory self-initiated nature of working on real world projects
- Have exposed themselves to similar processes and technologies involved in building projects in the industry.
We research and develop for the student community
Hacklab coordinators and members R&D processes and technologies that help students succeed academically and professionally.
With the interest of students in mind, we curate resources from around the internet and produce original content.
The support wing for MCS societies
The UTM MCS community is home to a number of clubs that the Hacklab supports logistically and technically.
