INSTRUCTOR ASSISTANCE: M 5 – 6 in SOE Conf Rm, or by Zoom, phone or email at any time.
CLASS HOURS: Section 02 – Wednesday, 2 hours a week from 2:00 – 3:55 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, Updated 2018
SW: The student should have access to Multisim and MatLab (Full or Student version)
The student is expected to attend all the scheduled sessions. If for some reason a student cannot make a session, you can participate online via Zoom (I will launch a Zoom Session at the start of each Lab session) and 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 lab 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 ,Zoom, and Quip 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-based, not scanned, handwritten
work. The best file format to use is MS
Word (doc or docx), but PDF can also be used (Other file formats
will not be accepted). Reports are generally due by Friday one week
after the Laboratory assignment. Late
reports will receive a lower
grade.

Final Exam Week |
|
There are three
sections of EE213L; one is mine. If you
miss a session, you can come to another section’s session on the same topic,
but it will be the submission from your normal team that will count,
* All laboratory reports are each due and uploaded to Blackboard one week following
the Lab Period. Points will be deducted
for late submissions. These are Team
submissions, but all team members should check that the correct file was
submitted.
Our Lab (BNW133) is accessible via your
Stag Card if you need extra time to complete your work.
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.
