ECE 343: Electronic Circuits Lab

Useful Resources:

  • To access MATLAB on your personal device: MATLAB through MATLAB

  • To access MATLAB on the web: MATLAB on web

  • Please note that MATLAB through Citrix can only access the files in EWS Windows home directory.

Lab Assignments:

  • Lab exercises and lab manual must be completed in lab.

  • Labs must done in groups of two students.

  • Please ensure that your TA signs off on your work while completing the lab and before you leave the lab.

  • Post lab write-up is due before the beginning of the next lab.

  • Please clean up bench/cables after lab session.

  • Completed lab manual must submitted on Canvas by midnight of the day of completion of the entire lab.

  • Please note that course staff must be informed prior to the start of lab in case you will be missing a lab. Only one make-up lab is allowed for the semester. Make-up labs are allowed only for university approved reasons.

  • Lab attendance is required at all your regularly assigned lab sessions. No credit will be given for a lab in the case of an unexcused absence. Coming late to lab will affect your grade. Note that coming late by more than 20 minutes will count as an absence.

  • Academic dishonesty may result in a failing grade. Every student is expected to review and abide by the Academic Integrity Policy. Students should pay particular attention to Article 1, Part 4: Academic Integrity.
