Course Description
A lab course to introduce electric circuits, electrical measurements and electronic devices. Topics include generating and measuring electrical signals; building and analyzing simple circuits using transformers, OP-Amps, diodes, MOSFETS; concepts of amplification, filtering and modulation. Includes a term project on constructing a complete electronic system.
Course Status
Year: 2010-11
Semester: Fall
Category: Undergrad (EE core)
Credits: 2
Course Website: http://cyphynets.lums.edu.pk/index.php/EE-241
Pre-requisites
Enforced : Phys 100: Experimental Physics - I
Recommended: None
Goals
To provide a self-contained introduction to building, testing and understanding basic electrical circuits and electronic devices.
Text book
A First Lab in Circuits and Electronics by Yannis Tsividis. John Wiley & Sons. 2002.
Laboratory Staff
- Syed Atif Adnan (Lab Engineer)
- Syed Muhammad Asif (Lab facilitator)
- Muhammad Umer Qureshi(Sr. Lab technician)
- Tahir Javaid (Lab technician)
Grading Scheme
Lab performance : 50%
Project : 25%
Final Exam: 25%
Policies and Guidelines
- This is a 2 credit-hours course. You are expected to spend a total of 6 hours per week for this course. This is not a pass/fail course.
- The class has been divided into various sections. Please find out your weekly schedule from your program coordinator.
- Each lab session can be completed in roughly 2.5-3 hours.
- After your weekly lab performance, you should visit the course website and download the pre-lab exercises and handouts for the next lab. You are expected to read them thoroughly before coming to the next lab session. Plan to dedicate 2.5-3 hours per week on reading the handouts and solving pre-lab exercises.
- If assigned, hand in the pre-lab exercises at the start of each experiment.
- There will be 11 lab sessions in total, including a computer based tutorial session on circuit simulation. Your performance in these 11 sessions will count towards 50% of your final grade. Your ten best performances will be used to compute your grade. Lab 0 will only be an orientation session and will not be counted towards course grading.
- PROJECT
- A major requirement for this course is a group project. The project will carry a weight of 25% in the final grade.
- A list of project ideas can be found here. You can also suggest your own project idea, with the permission of the instructor.
- You will do this project in groups of three (all members must be from the same section). You can also choose a mentor from the list of laboratory staff, who can guide you during your project.
- By November 5th, 2010, each group must submit a proposal for a project. Here you can find a template for the projects with detailed instructions on how to write the proposal. A sample proposal is found here. (For those who can use LaTeX, here is the Tex file for this template.)
- You will be expected to design, test and fabricate a small electronic system, thus demonstrating your understanding of basic ideas of electrical and electronic engineering.
- Soon after you submit your proposal, the lab will be opened for extended hours to let you work on your projects.
- In the last week of the semester, there will be a project exhibition during which your projects will be graded and displayed.
- Attendance in lab sessions in mandatory. Failure to attend the lab sessions may seriously affect your final grade.
- Make use of the hands-on circuit simulation and circuit board manufacturing workshops to facilitate your laboratory exercises as well as to enhance your project.
