Students are always welcome at the BMS lab 

Whether you need space to work on your research or thesis, would like some advice on the technology we offer or need additional help, the team at the BMS Lab can help you. The BMS Lab provides students with several services and resources, ranging from help with development to borrowing equipment. Keep in mind that only if having a project registered, students can book and use the equipment from the BMS Lab. You can borrow studying equipment such as streaming kits and reMarkable2 without project registration.

Note

Before booking the equipment, please familiarise yourself with the terms and conditions of the BMS Lab for lending equipment. In addition, please read the instructions on the booking page carefully. Note that the reservation is not finalised until you receive a confirmation email. It takes us about five days to review the submission. 

Studying equipment

Students of the BMS faculty can borrow select items of equipment which are aimed at facilitating their studying without registering projects. At the BMS Lab, you may borrow E-ink tablets or kits to record and stream online classes or presentations. You may borrow the equipment for 90 days with the opportunity to extend the period for one quarter. All you will need is to be a BMS faculty-student and a valid project number.

Education

Besides offering studying equipment, as a student, the BMS Lab can support your study in several ways. You may participate in some of the minors which are created in collaboration and the BMS Lab, for example, the new Introduction to Neuroscience for Business and Society, as well as the Circular Economy Transition, Serious Gaming minors. Furthermore, the BMS Lab can be used for course activities, such as case studies for companies, for which equipment is needed.

Research

To use the BMS Lab for your research, you need an original project, project registration (and ethical approval) and a consultation with the teacher in charge to use the lab. On the bottom of the page, an overview is provided of student theses that have been done at the BMS Lab that you can check for inspiration. For your research project, the BMS Lab offers development support for up to 80 hours, as well as data storage and processing services to ensure you are compliant with UT protocols for data handling. Keep in mind that when using the lab, you will need to adhere to our and also the BMS faculty & UT's policies and conditions. For some of the equipment available, we have created tutorials on our Canvas page. The tutorials can help you quickly learn how to use the specific technology you need.

Adapting automated vehicle behaviour to user trust: A driving simulator study

Student testimony from Melina Kowalski on her experience in collaborating with the development team for her thesis on: 


Collaborating with the development team of the BMS Lab as a human factor and engineering psychology student has taught me how to work with professionals with a more technical background. I learned how much work goes into development and how to best communicate what is important for social scientists. I was able to work on my technical skills, as someone who had little experience at first. I learned how to create virtual environments and how to troubleshoot problems occurring. Most importantly I have learned how to communicate with a more technical perspective in mind.
