A First Lab In Circuits And Electronics

Аннотация

This is a book for a lab course meant to accompany, or follow, any first course in circuit analysis and/or electronics. It has been written for today’s students, who, as is by now widely recognized, are very different from students of years past, when most of the traditional teaching approaches were developed. Among other things, today’s students are simply bored when required to go through a long series of procedures, the only purpose of which is to teach measurement techniques and to verify the theory. They want to see the theories they learned applied to something useful, and they want this right away. Telling them that they will see the application next year, or even next semester, is not good enough. And if students become disaffected in the first lab, a golden opportunity to excite them about electrical engineering may have been lost forever.
