ENGR 271 — ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS LABORATORY
Introduces the construction and measurement of electrical circuits. Provides laboratory opportunities to directly observe and test behaviors discussed in the lecture course ( ENGR 270 - Electrical Circuits). Covers basic use of electrical test and measurement instruments including multimeters, oscilloscopes, power supplies, function generators, and circuit simulation software. Provides interpretation of measured and simulated data based on principles of circuit analysis for DC, transient, sinusoidal steady-state (AC) conditions, and elementary circuit design. Explores practical considerations such as component value tolerance and non-ideal aspects of laboratory instruments, construction, and measurement of basic operational amplifier circuits.
