    General Circuit Lab Policies and Guidelines


    Introduction:
    The experiments in this laboratory course are designed to cover the theoretical and analytical
    materials in EE2320, EE2315 and EE2446 (Electrical Circuit Analysis I and II). The objective of
    the experiments is to enhance the students' understanding of important analytical principles
    developed in these courses by engaging them in the real-world application of these principles in
    the laboratory. In addition to further develop the students' laboratory practice for experimentally
    testing and evaluating electrical circuits and systems. In this course the students will be
    acquainted with modern lab equipment and software similar to that which is used in industry.
    Each bench is equipped with PC that will be used to acquire experimental data, to control
    laboratory instruments, to process experimental data, and to provide a highly flexible means for
    visualizing experimental results. LabView, MatLab, Multisim and Pspice are installed to each
    PCs which will be used throughout the lab experiments.
    Policies:
    Each lab session lasts three hours and starts promptly at the scheduled time. A brief
    introduction and guide line for the experiments will be given by the instructor at the
    beginning of the each lab section. Everybody has to finish on time, so please time yourself
    carefully. Doing the pre-lab can save you a lot of time.
    A. Preparing the lab is very important as it will save you time and allows you to work more
    efficiently. The pre-lab includes reading the lab assignment in advance, and doing the
    pre-lab assignment specific to each lab experiment. All pre-lab assignments have to be
    handed in with the main lab report at the beginning of the class.
    B. Review the material prior to coming to the lab; consult the textbook(s) if required. Draw
    the connection diagram for the experiments, sketch anticipated graphical results, and get
    an idea of the approximate range and scale of the quantities you will be measuring.
    C. As part of the lab preparation, you can use Multisim or Pspice to simulate the actual
    experiments you will be doing in the lab or drawing the schematics of the test set up. You
    can paste the simulation results in the lab report.
    D. Each lab is done in groups of two. The team approach encourages interaction and helps
    with the debugging and data collection. Each student required to have one lab notebook
    and is responsible for recording the measurement data and any observations which will
    be helpful for writing your lab report and reviewing for the Lab exams.
    E. Students are working in groups of two in the laboratory. This encourages team work and
    makes the conduct of the experiments more efficient. You can collaborate on the pre-lab
    and on interpretation of the measured data. However, each student is responsible for
    writing the pre-lab and main Lab report. Copying of data from other groups or submitting
    artificial or altered information is in violation of the Code of Academic Integrity and will
    result in a zero grade for the course. The lab report is an individual effort and each
    student should present his or her own report.
    F. Each lab notebook will be reviewed and signed and dated by the instructor or TA before
    leaving the lab.
    G. The major instruments are permanently installed in the stations. Reusable components
    such as resisters, capacitors, and ICs will be provided to you at the beginning of each lab
    period. Components such as capacitors, and integrated circuits (ICs) can be reused and
    should be left on the table in the same manner (inside the plastic bag) as they were
    obtained (stretch the leads if necessary).
    H. Leave your workplace at least as clean and tidy as you found it. Please put everything
    back in its proper place before you leaving the Lab.
    I. Be on time to the class, late coming between 10 to 20 minutes will be recorded and after
    20 minutes you will be not allowed to start your lab and you need to make an
    arrangement to come and makeup the lab with 25% penalty.
    J. Cell-phone ringing or use is not allowed in the lab.
    K. Your lab activities will be continuously monitored and graded by your instructor and
    GTA.

    Grading Policy:
    1. Each pre-lab and lab report will be graded based on 100 points and their average will be
    1
    one-third ( ) of your lab grade.
    3
    2. Lab activity, coming to the lab on time, lab notebook and responsible handling of the lab
    1
    experiments will count as one-third ( ) of your lab grade.
    3
    1
    3. Midterm and final lab exams will count as one-third ( ) of your lab grade.
    3
    Lab Report Turn-In Policy:
    The lab reports are due to the beginning of the following lab session. For each week late turn-in
    30% will be deducted.

    Lab Work Makeup Policy:


    All laboratory work has to be completed during the designated lab period. Students who miss a
    lab session due to a documented emergency are expected to schedule a makeup time with GTA
    to conduct the missed lab work. Reports are still due in accordance with the policy stated above.

    Guidelines for writing Lab Reports:


    Each student is required to maintain a laboratory notebook which is used to take notes during the
    lab session, record, data, circuit analyses, calculations, graphs, etc. The goal of the lab notebook
    is to keep complete and accurate records of your work in the lab. You will be using these notes to
    write your report.

    The lab reports will be graded according to the experimental procedure, clarity of presentation,
    neatness, data recording, analysis, calculation, and discussion of the results. The main purpose
    for the report is to communicate the results to others and to enable others to duplicate the work in
    a straight forward manner.

    When preparing the lab report you can use a word processor (it may save you time to have a
    template that you follow for each lab, according to the guidelines described below). Feel free to
    use Excel or MatLab (or any other appropriate analysis and graphing program) to analyze and
    present your data in a graphical form. You can also include result of Multisim, LabVIEW or
    Pspice simulation in the report if appropriate. Reports are to be either neatly hand written or
    typed (or a combination of both) and should contain the following information.

    Here are instructions on lab report. Grading will be done in accordance with these instructions.
    1. Write your name, student ID, date, Lab section, course title and number on the front page.
    2. Title of the experiment, and name of partner(s).
    3. Objective of the lab experiment.
    4. Experimental procedure.
    5. Show the experiment measurement set-up (schematics); record the data with proper units,
    sketches and observations. When recording data always mention the name of the instruments
    used. It is recommended that you make some quick, but neat plot of the data to ensure they
    make sense before leaving the lab.
    6. Your graphs must be in standard form with proper paper, label, title, and units. Measured data
    points should be clearly visible even if a line has been interpolated through the data points.
    7. Tables must have column headings and units.
    8. Compare the measured results with the expected ones (from your pre-lab and/or simulations).
    Explain any deviations between the theoretical and experimental results.
    9. Discussions and conclusions. This is an important part of the report. The conclusion should
    contain the following items:
    - Summary of the results;
    - Mention briefly what you have learned;
