Text Book(s) and Supplemental Material(s):
Electronic Test Instruments: Analog and Digital Measurements, 2nd edition, R. A. Witte, 2002.
Supplemental:
Introduction to Electric Circuits, 9th edition, R. C. Dorf and J. A. Svoboda, 2014.
Microelectronic Circuits, 6th edition, A. S. Sedra and K. C. Smith, 2010.
Course Goal(s):
This course provides knowledge and skills for circuit measurement and testing, with an emphasis on the
loading effects and limitations of test equipment; the experiments also provide experience with the
analysis and design of circuits using diodes, transistors, and op-amps.
Instructional Outcomes for the Course:
Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to:
1. List safety rules and work safely in the laboratory.
2. Design and construct electronic circuits which use transistors and integrated circuits.
3. Given an unknown signal, use an oscilloscope to display the signal and measure the signal
parameters.
4. Measure DC operating point, AC signals, transient waveforms, and frequency response.
5. Calculate the loading effect of a voltmeter, ammeter, and oscilloscope on a circuit.
6. Analyze experimental data and compare it to theoretical and simulation results.
7. Document experimental procedures, data, and analysis of data.
8. Design an experiment to accomplish a specified objective.
Criterion 3 Student Outcomes addressed by this Course:
3b. an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data
3c. an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic
constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety,
manufacturability, and sustainability
3f. an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility
3g. an ability to communicate effectively
3k. an ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering
practice
