Department: Computer Science & Engineering
Title: Analog Circuits II Laboratory
Semester Approved: Spring 2024
Five-Year Review Semester: Fall 2028
End Semester: Fall 2029
Catalog Description: This laboratory course is to accompany ENGR 2290. It continues instruction in the use of electronic measuring instruments including multimeters, function generators, power supplies, and oscilloscopes. Electronic components and instruments will be used to apply, analyze, and illustrate circuits studied in the lecture course. (Lab fee required)
Semesters Offered: Spring
Credit/Time Requirement: Credit: 1; Lecture: 0; Lab: 2
Prerequisites: ENGR 2255
Corequisites: ENGR 2290 - Analog Circuits II
Justification: This course is the laboratory component of ENGR 2290 and provides the opportunity for hands-on application of the concepts studied in ENGR 2290. Similar coursework is offered in university engineering schools. This course is typically taken during the sophomore year of the preengineering curriculum and will prepare the student for subsequent course work.
Student Learning Outcomes:
Students will be able to use laboratory equipment to verify experimentally the abstract concepts studied in ENGR 2290. Students will be assessed through the record of the experiment.
Students will be able to demonstrate the proper use of electronic instruments including multimeters, function generators, power supplies, oscilloscopes, frequency counters, etc. Students will be assessed through demonstration to the instructor and the record of the experiment.
Students will be able to design and assemble circuit components to achieve a given response. Students will be assessed through the record of the experiment.
Students will be able to keep a laboratory notebook and write reports that conform to engineering standards. Students will be assessed by the record of the experiments.
Students will be able to use a computer aided design package to design and simulate the abstract concepts studied in ENGR 2290. Students will be assessed through the record of the experiment which will include computer simulated results.
Content:
This course will include predicting the response and then building and measuring the response of the following:* second-order circuits* sinusoidal steady-state circuits* Thevenin and Norton equivalent circuits of sinusoidal circuits* transformer circuits* passive filter circuits* active filter circuitsThis course calls attention to electrical engineering challenges and solutions through history and in diverse locales. We make an effort to highlight how people from a variety of demographics have contributed to the field.
Key Performance Indicators:
