27. ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY Innovating tomorrow’s products and systems today I will help you, but I will not do the work for you! I am here to keep the equipment in the labs running smoothly. Room Layout and Fire extinguishers Please extinguish all fires Opening boxes and sharp blades It can happen Cut away from yourself Don’t bleed on my floor

28. ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY Innovating tomorrow’s products and systems today Bare wires on your projects It will not happen to me Meltdowns always occur when someone important is watching Shorted Li-ion batteries can catch fire Battery Charging, Discharging, and overheating Li-ion batteries can catch fire when shorted Li-ion batteries can catch fire when charged over voltage Screwdrivers Most used hand tool in the PIC Most misused hand tool in the PIC Very sharp relative to skin and tissue
