The student organization has more than 350 members and has placed first in 41 competitions since 2013.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHaving a centralized space will streamline the way we organize our meetings and practices,\u201d says Hack@UCF president David Maria, a senior studying <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/degree\/computer-engineering-bscpe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">computer engineering<\/a>. \u201cWith this lab, we can practice for competitions, host workshops and speakers, provide cybersecurity tools and resources, give our student members a sense of community and help get them ready for future careers. It\u2019s not just a practice space. It\u2019s a home for us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Last year, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/news\/cyber-education-expand-ucf-1-5-million-gift-lockheed-martin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lockheed Martin donated $1.5 million to UCF<\/a> to help create the facility and fund software and technology to support the lab. The defense company will also provide training and mentorship to engineering students for the next 20 years. UCF provides more graduates to aerospace and defense companies than any other university in the nation.<\/p>\n<p>In 2016, the university was named a <a
