Course Outcomes

ECE 3741 is a laboratory course that focuses on building and analyzing practical electronic circuits. This laboratory reinforces skills learned in ECE 3710 (circuit analysis), which is a prerequisite for this course. ECE 3741 is a service course for non-ECE majors and satisfies the circuits laboratory requirement. After successfully completing this lab, you should be able to:

Recognize and understand the functionality of basic circuits and components 

Be proficient in the use of essential electronics equipment, including Breadboard, Oscilloscope, Multimeter, Power Supply, and Function Generator

Construct and debug an electrical circuit given a schematic diagram

Compare theoretical calculations to measured results for various circuits and parameters

Use knowledge gained in 3710 and 3741 to design certain circuit elements, build, and test them
