Course Description

Students will learn the followings in this course,
(1) Basic measurement techniques in electronics
(2) Fundamentals of programming for data processing and control
(3) Software control of hardware.

Course Objectives

In this laboratory, we shall conduct fundamental experiments for engineering students.
The experiments are designed to make students learn the experimental basics of electrical, information and mechanical engineering, which are the major constituents of today's engineering sciences.
Students should acquire a firm understanding of the above basics in this laboratory since an understanding of the basics will enable the further study in the laboratories in subsequent semesters.

Grading Policy

In experiments #1-#6, you will be graded by your submitted reports.
In experiments #8-#14, you will be graded by your accomplishments at the end time of each experiment.
The overall grade is calculated from the above results.
