Bulletin Description : Lecture and Laboratory exercises in the principles and use of electrical instruments.
Corequisite : EE 2003, Electrical Circuit Analysis
General Information : The objective of this course is to introduce the basic engineering laboratory techniques and procedures of experiment planning, data collection, evaluation, and documentation while reinforcing the understanding of circuit theory and analysis.
The course consists of laboratory experiments related to EE 2003, ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT ANALYSIS. The theory and analysis methods applicable to the experiments are covered in EE 2003 and lab lectures. Therefore, concurrent enrollment or previous completion of EE 2003 is required. Enrollment in EE 2001 will be withdrawn if EE 2003 enrollment is dropped. You are required to retain the general theory from EE 2003. If it has been a while since you completed the course, you should review your notesfrom EE 2003
The class will be divided into groups of no more than two. There are a limited number of work stations in the lab. Therefore students are not allowed to make up labs or switch lab sessions with out the instructor's permission. The labs are structured so that each group can work at its own pace. When the lab work is completed and graded by the instructor, the students are expected to leave so as to not inconveniece those still working.
The grade is based on proficiency in planning, executing, and interpreting the experiments as demonstrated by notebook entries, laboratory conduct and demonstration of lab technique. The ability to plan a reasonable approach to a new problem is a virtue to be pursued. The laboratory is a user friendly learning tool. The student should ask questions freely and frequently when unsure how to proceed.
Notebook: Each student is to record all of their lab data into their own notebook. All lab notes, preliminary lab work, data and conclusions are contained exclusively in the lab notebook. The purpose for this notebook is to introduce the students to professional engineering style journals. The only materials a student should bring to the lab therefore are pens, calculator and notebook. Note, any scrap paper or lab printouts will be confiscated by the instructor before lab begins. Don`t bring these items to the lab. A complete notebook entry for a lab exercise must contain original work, must be complete( for all the procedures outlined in the manual), and must contain all the necessary schematics, sketches and graphs. All of this work should be finished in the time allotted.
Laboratory Conduct: Students are required to do their own work during the course of this lab. This means that every member of a workgroup should take turns at recording data, connecting circuits, and reading test equipment. The students are expected to be prepared for the day`s lab before arriving. This includes familarity with the theory and proceedures as well as completion of all pre-lab calculation, necessary schematics and outlined proceedures. The beginning of lab is used by the instructor to brief the student on the days experiment, this include clarifying theory and presenting the appropiate lab methods for the data collection. If you do not complete the prelab or miss the lab lecture, you waste your time and the instructional staffs'.
Under very limited circumstances, student may be allowed to reschedule labs.
Laboratory Final: Student will be asked to demonstrate their basic laboratory profiencey by making several measurement and calculations based on material presented during the semmester during two exams.
Grade: Each laboratory entry will be graded upon completion of the lab. The grade for the entry is based on the completeness of the entry with points deducted for neatness, and a lack of attendance for the lecture. The grade for this lab is based the the sum of the grades of each notebook entry at the end of the semester in addition to the lab final. The lab notebook is worth 50% of the final grade and the lab finals are worth 50%.
Academic Dishonesty : Any apparent incidents of dishonesty, misconduct or plagiarism that can not be resolved promptly between the instructor and student(s) involved will be referred to the appropiate college authorities. Severe penalties including dismissal from the university may be assessed. Unethical conduct has no place in the study or practice of the engineering profession.
Safety : Voltages above 50 volts have the potential to kill. In most cases the circuits you encounter in this lab will be below this level, but you should develop safe techniques for handling electrical circuits. Ask the instructor to check your circuit prior to applying power for the first few weeks as a safety precaution. When in doubt, only touch the circuit element with one hand while keeping the other hand away from wires, circuit grounds, chassis, and other grounded metal items. Do not add or remove wires or components in an energized circuit. Points will be deducted for unsafe operation of the equipment during lab or an exam. THINK BEFORE DOING!!
You will be using expensive equipment that must not be abused. Most units have built-in protection devices such as fuses, circuit breakers, and electronic regulators. Part of the setup and cleanup procedure for each experiment includes a check of the key equipment. If the equipment does not operate properly, consult your instructor immediately - do not attempt to repair it yourself.
