In this course we will perform a series of simple experiments illustrating several principles of measurements and design methods in electronics. You may find these exercises helpful in illuminating topics covered in the lecture courses dealing with the same topics. However, the intent of the course is not simply to supplement the lectures. Its main objective is to allow you to learn how to make careful and critical measurements, organize your observations in the form of a written report, use and become familiar with modern instrumentation and develope “trouble shooting” skills.
