The laboratory experiments will include basic use of electrical testers, such as multimeters, oscilloscopes, as well as power supplies, and function generators. In the labs, the students will lay out circuits and predict their behavior mathematically by using circuit simulation software. Student will interpret measured and simulated data based on principles of circuit analysis for DC, and transient conditions. The elementary circuit design will also include practical considerations such as component value tolerance and non-ideal aspects of laboratory instruments. Construction and measurements of basic operational amplifier circuits shall also be part of the laboratory activities.Usually HeldWed 12:00pm–2:50pm
