CLASS HOURS: Section 01 – Tuesdays,
2 hours a week from 2:00 – 4:00 pm in Bannow 133
Section 02 – Wednesdays, 2 hours a week from 6:30 – 8:30 pm in Bannow 133
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Students build and test circuits using Resistors, Capacitors and
Inductors. They use the principles developed in the EE 213/PS212 lectures to design,
analyze, build, and test these circuits.
CO-REQUISITE: EE 213/PS212, “Analog Circuits I” (or equivalent).
The student should also be able to simulate systems using Multisim (or LTSpice)
and use MatLab.

Lab Manual: “Circuit Analysis Laboratory Manual”, Uma Balaji, 2015
SW: The student should have access to Multisim and MatLab (Full or Student version)
The student is expected to attend all of the scheduled sessions. If for some reason a student cannot make a session, the Instructor should be contacted in advance, if possible, to arrange to do and turn in the assigned work and get the assignment for the following class. The course includes an introductory labs on instrumentation and several Design exercises. The student is expected to turn in all work on time and late work will be penalized.
The Blackboard system along with our course web site will be used to manage this course.
Student groups must submit their assignments into Blackboard
for archival and grading. All work is to
be typed (including equations), drawings are to be computer-base, not scanned,
hand written work. The best file format
to use is MS Word (doc or docx), but PDF can also be used. Reports are
generally due by Friday one week after the Laboratory assignment. Late reports will receive a lower grade.

* All laboratory reports are each
due and uploaded to Blackboard one week following the Lab Period
Our Lab (BNW133) is accessible via
your Stag Card if you need extra time to complete your work.
** Tuesday, 13Oct, is an extended UG
holiday for travel
You will find that coming to the lab
having done preliminary design work and with working Multisim simulations will
allow you to easily complete your work in the allotted lab time.
