What This Document Is
This is a comprehensive class guide for EE 432 – Electronic Circuits Laboratory at Wright State University. It serves as a foundational resource outlining the scope and objectives of the lab component to the core Electronic Circuits course. The guide details the practical application of theoretical concepts explored in lecture, focusing on the design and analysis of analog circuits. It’s designed to bridge the gap between classroom learning and hands-on experimentation.
Why This Document Matters
This guide is essential for students currently enrolled in, or preparing for, EE 432. It’s particularly valuable for understanding the overall course structure, required prerequisites, and the skills you’ll be expected to develop throughout the semester. Refer to this guide to clarify the relationship between the lab work and the associated lecture material (EE 431). It’s best used at the beginning of the course to establish a clear understanding of expectations, and revisited throughout the semester to ensure alignment with learning goals.
Common Limitations or Challenges
This guide provides a high-level overview of the course and its objectives. It does *not* contain detailed experimental procedures, circuit schematics, specific component values, or step-by-step instructions for completing lab assignments. It also doesn’t include solutions to problems or analysis of specific circuit behaviors. Think of it as a roadmap, not a detailed walkthrough. Access to the full guide is required for complete course information.
