ELEC 2210 Lab

Fall 2009 Dr. Roppel

Syllabus (Grading, Section schedule, policies, etc.)

Most lab meetings will have an associated pre-lab and a quiz. Meetings 1-12 will have an associated lab report, and there is a report for the final project.

• The pre-lab is due when you arrive at your section's lab meeting. It will be checked off as you arrive, but you will submit it as you leave. This is so you can use circuit diagrams, equations, data sheets, etc. during your lab work. Prelab questions may be asked and discussed at the Monday lab lecture.
• The quiz will be given before you start your lab work, and may include questions based on the prelab assignment for the current meeting, as well as any previous lab work during the semester.
• The lab report for each meeting is due when you arrive at lab the next week.  If the lab is not meeting the next week, it is due in your GTA's mailbox at that same time. The final project report is discussed later in this document.

Writeups include the prelab assignment. Print off and bring your copy to the Monday meeting and to lab.

Meeting	Week of	Topics	Writeup
1	8/17	Equipment intro, safety review, basic digital logic circuits Pre-lab help	doc pdf
2	8/24	Simulation of logic circuits (Do not meet in lab. Work on your own - GTA hours will be posted.) David’s hours: in BR 308 during lab time / Jennifer’s hours: 2 – 4 Thurs. in BR 368. Special instructions:  Submit prelab to GTA's mailbox. Must be received before the start time of your regular lab meeting. Include cover sheet.
