Course Objective

The objective of the course is to introduce basic dynamical circuit electrical engineering measurement techniques. Measurement of time varying voltages and currents using oscilloscopes will be presented. With hands on controlled experiments, basic frequency selective circuit design and implementation techniques will be investigated.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1	To be able to carry out advanced circuit measurements involving time varying voltages and currents using oscilloscopes,
2	To have a concrete understanding of oscilloscopes operation and to be able to make advanced timing and amplitude measurements with oscilloscopes.
3	To be able implement basic dynamical circuits including capacitors and inductors physically and be able to do measurements on these circuits.
4	To be able to make circuit simulations of dynamical circuits and interpret the results.
5	To have the ability to effectively write laboratory reports and comprehend written reports, to prepare design and production reports.
6	Profound awareness of laboratory safety procedures.

Further Notes About Assessment Methods

Each Laboratory Experiment will be evaluated depending on pre-laboratory readiness, in laboratory and post laboratory reports.

Assessment Criteria

1. Each experiment s in-laboratory work will be evaluated as 40% Pre-Lab Report + 40% Experiment Execution + 20% In lab Performance
2. Each experiment s Post Laboratory Report will be evaluated as 20%Theory + 40% Application and Results 40% Conclusion and Comments
3. The grade of each experiment will be determined by 50% Laboratory work + 50% Post-Laboratory Report
4. This course has a minimal over all grade of 60/100 to be eligible for getting a letter grade. The students whose overall grade at the end of the finals is less than 60 will be automatically graded with FF.
5. The students who fail to finish 8/10 experiments is automatically rewarded with FF irrespective of their overall grade. An experiment is considered as FAILED is the student is absent or overall grade is less than 60.
6. However, these does not mean that the students who have overall grade greater than 60 will pass the lecture. Depending on the over all statistics, one can still get FF or FD and fail. The letter grades are rewarded according to the statistical nature of the grade distribution and the over all engagement of the students to the lecture discussions.
7. Two distinct resit sessions, one in the middle of the semester and one at the end of the semester, will be reserved for that missed the experiments for those with legal excuses.
