COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Students build and test circuits using diodes, bipolar junction
transistors, and MOSFETs .They use the principles developed in EE 231 to
analyze, build, and test amplifier and oscillator circuits.
PREREQUISITE: EE213L, Analog Electronics Lab I (or equivalent)
CO-REQUISITE: EE 231, “Analog Electronics I” (or equivalent).
The student should also be able to
simulate systems using Multisim (or LTSpice) and MatLab.

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 cannot 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.

to submit Reports |
|
* 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.
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.
