ENGR 215L — Circuits Laboratory
This course is an introduction to the construction and measurement of electrical circuits. This includes basic use of circuit testing and measurement instruments (including multimeters, oscilloscopes, power supplies, and function generators); the use of circuit simulation software; interpretation of measured and simulated data based on principles of circuit analysis for DC, transient, and sinusoidal steady-state (AC) conditions; elementary circuit design; and the construction and measurement of basic operational-amplifier circuits. Practical considerations such as component-value tolerance and nonideal aspects of laboratory instruments will be addressed.
