| Getting Started |
To become a WCAM lab user:
Step 1: Take the WCAM Safety and Orientation Course
The course is available on the Web through eCOW2, UW-Madison's implementation of the Moodle online training system. You can prepare by reading WCAM's
Safety Program
document.
It is your responsibility to understand and follow all the safety protocols discussed in the Safety Program and in the online course. A partial
summary of WCAM Lab Rules, excerpted from the Safety Program, can serve as a handy reference to refresh your memory.
If you have already used eCOW2 for other courses:

Step 2: Complete the WCAM User Information Form
UW-Madison researchers: Use the
Internal User Form.
Everyone else: Use the
External User Form.
Print a hard copy of the form, and fill it out. Click here if you need help with the form.
Step 3: Submit the User Information Form
Submit your completed User Information Form to Room 3116 ECB.
You will receive a confirmation email when your information has been processed. After confirmation, you need to
contact WCAM staff to schedule equipment training and your first entrance into the clean room.
Help with eCOW2:
UW-Madison students, staff, and faculty need to log in to eCOW2 once, to be eligible for enrollment in the orientation course. Go to the eCOW2 home page, click on "My eCOW2 Courses/Login" in the upper right corner, and log in using your UW Net ID. Then, contact WCAM to be enrolled in the orientation course.
Users from outside the UW-Madison campus must contact WCAM staff to be given access to eCOW2 as a guest user and be enrolled in the course.
Help with the User ID form:
UW-Madison users need to include:
- Signature of the Principle Investigator
- Funding information
- The user's own signature
- A CRESS project name (chosen by the user, as a login name for lab access)
- The user's UW building access code (for use by the Engineering Centers Building door system). Look on the back of your UW ID card. Your building access code is the first six digits of the string of numbers at the bottom of the card.
