• The lab assignments are designed to meet the Washington Accord/ABET engineering accreditation requirements of the ability (a) to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice, and (b) to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data.
• The objectives and the student learning outcomes are identified at the beginning of each lab assignment.
• The characteristics, biasing, analysis, and design for diodes, BJTs JFETS, MOSFETs are covered.
• An instructor has the flexibility to choose from 47 labs covering diode circuits to advanced differential amplifiers and op-amp circuits in order to complement the theoretical lectures over one semester or two semesters or even three semesters.
• Computer-aided simulation is an integral part of each lab for evaluating the performance of electronic circuits under various conditions and for making any adjustments in order to meet certain design specifications.
• There are numerous open-ended labs to meet certain design requirements/specifications rather than traditional labs with lab procedures. The open-ended labs help students developing skills in problem-solving, critical thinking, reasoning, analysis, and evaluations.
• Each lab is self-contained and uses a lab report template designed to document and demonstrate the achievement of the student learning outcomes. There is no need for separate lab reports.
• The labs make references to the chapters of the book Microelectronic Circuits: Analysis and Design by M. H. Rashid. This lab book can be used with any other books for electrical, electronic and communication engineering, or engineering technology.
• A lab is expected to develop certain skills, and the book identifies thirteen skills expected from the laboratory experiences. A student survey form is included to assess the achievement of the laboratory skills and outcomes.
