Laboratory Course Description

The laboratory work follows the theoretical part of the course. The aim is to develop practical
skills necessary for engineering practice by conducting a broad range of experiments. The
experiments include investigations into the characteristics of electronic devices such as
transistors and integrated circuits. Design and analysis of transistor bias circuits are covered as
well as the use of BJT as a switch circuit. Experiments with TTL or CMOS will allow the students to
understand the operation of these well-established integrated circuits as well as their
applications. The student will also have opportunity to analyze circuits by using computerized
circuit simulation methods (Circuit Maker). Throughout the laboratory course, the student will use
test and measurement equipment such as digital multitesters, digital trainers, oscilloscopes, and
function generators. The student is required to submit a report for every experiment he/she
carries out.

Students may work together on the homework, but copying is unacceptable

Projects:
1
A number of projects will be set during the semester. Projects will be issued and
handed in on a 15 days cycle. All projects have to be handed and evaluated by
1:00 p.m. on the due date. Others will be considered late and will not be marked.
2
Use only black pen
3
Each project must have a written report. It must consist of the following:
Project Name
Statement of the Problem
Significance of the Project
Scope and Limitation
Description of the Project
System Design and Hardware specification
Recommendation
Format for Written Reports
Typeset should be 11 point size Arial. Same type font shall be used throughout
the text. The body of the report should be typeset in a single column, 1.5 line
spacing on one side of the sheet. Printing shall be made on a substance 20
letter size (8.5inch by 11 inch) white bondpaper. The text shall be within the
print area with a paper margin of 1 inch for top, bottom and the right side
margins. Left margin should be 1.5 inch. Page numbers should be at the right
most at the bottom of the page
The title page should be centered across the full page with the first letter of
each major word in capital letters. It should be typed in bold face using 14 point

Policy on Collaboration: All assignments or projects are to be done on an individual

basis without any assistance from any other person. Students collaborating on an
assignment or project will receive no credit and a report will be forwarded to the
College of Engineering Office.
An INC is not a student option; it is given only at the discretion of the instructor.
If in doubt, dont hesitate to ask the instructor.
Cheating: in particular copying your fellow classmate's works, assignments or programs
or projects, is a very serious offense! If you are found cheating, you will automatically get
an F grade means 5.0 in this course and your act will be reported to the Department for
necessary disciplinary actions. Please don't let others copy your works, assignments or
programs or projects as we don't have a way to tell who is copying who and you may be
liable to the penalties.
