SW: The student should have access to Multisim and MatLab (Full or Student version)
The student is expected to attend all of the scheduled classes if for some reason the student can not make a class the Instructor should be contacted in advance, if possible, to arrange to do and turn in the assigned work and get assignment for following class. The course includes three introductory labs (including one on instrumentation) and 4 Design exercises. The student is expected to turn in all work on time.
The Blackboard system along with our course web site will be used to manage this course.

* All laboratory reports are each
due and uploaded to Mentor the following Lab Period
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.
