| Goals | This course is intended to reinforce concepts introduced in ETEE3124. The goals of this course are to reinforce theoretical concepts through the performance of experiments and computer simulation. To satisfy the requirements of a writing intensive class, students are expected to prepare and submit professional documentation on theoretical concepts, simulation and practical results, along with a comprehensive discussion and evaluation of procedures, discrepancies and significance for each experiment performed. Each student will also give a formal oral presentation on some aspect of engineering technology at the end of the semester. |
| Prerequisite | (or Corequisite) ETEE 3124: Analysis of Linear Networks II |
| Class Topics | Experiments performed in this course are determined by material introduced in ETEE3124. Topics may include, but are not limited to:
• Analysis of electronic circuits using computer simulation software packages such as PSPICE and/or Electronics WorkBench (EWB) • Study and analysis of linear and nonlinear characteristics of electronic components • AC and DC analysis of electronic circuits • Applications of nonlinear electronic components. |
| Outcomes | Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
1. Analyze and design electronic circuits based on the understanding of the theoretical concepts presented in ETEE3124. 2. Use computer simulation software in the analysis of electronic circuits. 3. Write laboratory reports in a clear, concise and organized manner. 4. Make an effective oral presentation on a technical subject. Course outcomes 1 through 4 above support achievement of Program Outcomes 1, 3, and 6. |
| Computer Usage | Extensive utilization of the PSPICE and/or EWB simulation packages in addition to various word processing, analysis, graphics and presentation software packages. |
| Laboratory | This course is designed as entirely laboratory based. |
| Design Content | With the help from the laboratory manual, students attending this course will design, build and analyze a variety of electronic circuits. |
| Grading * | Individual short laboratory reports: Professionalism, engineering content & accuracy: 100% Individual formal laboratory reports: English composition and grammar 50% ; Professionalism, engineering content & accuracy 50% Course Grade to be determined by individual instructor, but will contain the following components: Laboratory preparation, conduct and participation ; Short laboratory reports; Formal laboratory reports; Oral presentation |
| Follow-up Courses | This course is not a prerequisite for any other courses in the discipline. |
| Academic Integrity | Students have the responsibility to know and observe the requirements of the UNCC Code of Student Academic Integrity (2003-2005 UNCC Catalog, p. 276) . This code forbids cheating, fabrication or falsification of information, multiple submission of academic work, plagiarism, abuse of academic materials, and complicity in academic dishonesty. |
