ENGR 213 Electrical Networks Laboratory
This lab will teach the students the limitations of the circuit theories that are covered in class and how to translate theory into practice. This laboratory will guide the students on how to design and realize physical systems. Students will first build physical models of the circuits discussed in the electrical networks course, and will test the students¿ understanding of how these circuits operate by comparing the experimental results with the results predicted by the theories discussed in class. Students will also learn how to use computer based simulation models such as Multisim to validate circuit models. Students will also learn to record the experimental work in a careful, systematic, and verifiable manner through accurate reports. Students will also learn how to communicate through presenting their work to other students and faculty. Some of the topics discussed in this lab are: Measurements on dc circuits, techniques of circuit analysis. computer aided design and analysis, operational amplifiers, response of RL, RC, and RLC circuits, sinusoidal steady-state analysis and power calculations, Laplace transform, and dependent sources.
