Overview
Hands-on learning with student-owned test equipment has proven to be a very effective way to inspire students at all levels to explore the world around them. The ability to freely explore inevitably stimulates ones curiosity to examine the natural world and begins the process of developing design instincts that are so valued in many professions.
Electrical Engineering Practicum provides a hands-on path to exploring the fascinating world of electronics. Each of the fifteen lectures introduces the student to a new electronic device or technology and an associated application. A follow-on laboratory exercise is then conducted individually by the student anytime, anywhere, using their own Personal Test Lab. An online video teaching assistant is provided to assist the student with each lab exercise. In university settings, the lab exercise is then demonstrated by the student to an instructor in small lab sections. No previous experience in electronics is required by the student.
Required Additional Material
Personal Test Lab
The Personal Test Lab is required for conducting the laboratory exercises in Electrical Engineering Practicum. The Personal Test Lab includes the Analog Discovery™, a USB-powered, multi-function test instrument and the Analog Parts Kit™.
