Course objective: This course is designed to provide students with
professional skills for lab experiences.
Students will design, assemble and test
linear electrical networks and systems. Students will learn how to troubleshoot
in those procedures. Students will also use computers to control electrical
equipment and acquire data using Labview. Students will simulate circuits with PSpice (MicroSim). Lab classes are
designed to accompany the co-requisite EE/TE3301 Electrical Network
Analysis class.
Web site: http://www.utdallas.edu/~rmh072000
Check the website each week before preparing for lab. It
will be updated and will include hints, tips, etc. to help you prepare.
Lab Procedures: The Lab procedures for experiments are available at the
course website described above.
Acrobat reader (version 4.0 or later) is required for the
lab manual files. For details of lab procedures and safety rules, refer to lab
manuals.
PSpice: Download the Student copy of PSpice
9.1 or higher:
http://www.electronics-lab.com/downloads/schematic/013/
Some features of version 9.1 may be inconsistent with the
guidelines in the lab manual.
Experiment 1:
Download and print out the documents for experiment#1 from
the web site. A description of the lab equipment is in the Appendix. The
appendix also gives handy tips for using the equipment. Bring it with you to
lab for reference.
Lab preparation:
1. Download the lab manual and
bring it with you to lab.
2. Students should read
the labs carefully and complete
the prelab procedures before coming to class and submit
their prelab reports to TAs (keep a photocopy to complete experiments).
3. Be prepared for the experimental procedures by
understanding the relevant theory.
Lab procedure:
1. Arrive on time. Turn in your lab reports when you walk in
the laboratory.
2. Ask for the component kit box (labeled with a number on
the cover), then start the experiment. Use the same box for every experiment.
3. TA will assist students to complete the experiment. Ask
for help when students are in trouble with circuits and equipments.
4. Show your data sheet to the TA and get their initials on
it when experiment is completed and before
you leave the lab.
5. Clean the workstation area and return all wires to their
storage location. Turn off the power on any equipment used during the
experiment.
Lab reports:
1. Read the
descriptions of the informal lab report and the formal lab report in the
preface of the lab manual. You must
follow the designated formats.
2. Lab reports must be completed
independently. You can share only the collected data sets with your lab
partner. Copying any part of the report from others is strictly prohibited and
is against the schools scholastic integrity policy.
3. Lab reports are always due the next session after the lab
is completed.
4. No late lab reports are allowed.
5. Students should generate lab reports in a professional
manner. Lab reports should be typed (generated by a word processor).
6. Reports must be turned in when you walk into the
laboratory.
7. Two copies for prelab reports
are required (original copy for TAs and photocopy for students).
8. In your prelab report, you have
to make a components list in the circuits for the experiment. In the lab
manual, prelab report portion is given under the
preparation section. You must complete the prelab
work before the lab starts.
Grading: Grades are based on the lab reports.
Lab reports: 80%
Prelab reports: 20%.
Safety rules: Read the safety rules that are presented in the preface of
the lab manual and understand
them for your safety.
Note: Students will work on experiments in two-person teams.
Please have your teammate selected before Lab #1. If you cannot find a
teammate, ask your TA for a partner assignment. The TA will judge your ability
to handle the equipment and to troubleshoot problems during the experiments,
which will be reflected in your final grade.
Scholastic Integrity: Scholastic
dishonesty at The University of Texas at
to
the Scholastic dishonesty policy of
Lab schedule: Lab schedule is subject to change according to the class
schedule of EE/TE3301.
