Description
This course is the companion lab for ESE215. The laboratory exercises illustrate
and reinforces the concepts covered in the class and gives you hands on
experience. You will get the opportunity to work with state-of-the-art
electronic test and measuring equipment. The laboratory is equipped with
industry standard equipment and software including HP microprocessor based
instruments (and computer HPIB interface), National Instruments data acquisition
boards, LabVIEW and Benchlink software, and Pentium based PCs. In addition
Electronic Workbench is available on the PC which allows you to simulate
the circuits you build.
Educational Course Objectives
- Enhance the students' understanding of important
analytical principles developed in ESE 215 by engaging them in the real-world
application of these principles in the laboratory.
- Introduce the concepts of transduction and transducer
in the laboratory practice.
- The student will learn to construct electric circuits,
carry out measurements, record, display and analyze data.
- The student will work in groups of two.
- By maintaining a lab notebook and writing weekly
reports, the students will learn communication skills.
Code of Academic Integrity:
Using or attempting to use unauthorized assistance, material,
