This laboratory course will be presented in a teaching lab format and is meant to cover the laboratory components of the Introductory Electronics Course (ELET1400). Students will be guided in performing various explorations of the practical aspects of Basic Electronics. Three minor design projects will be an integral part of the course test requirements. Students will be required to write up their experimental results and submit at the end of each class session.
