Electronics II

Fall 2012: The course was taught as a standard 3 credit hour lecture course (course outline). Only simulations, for certain chapters and problems, formed the bulk of experimentation.

Fall 2013: The course was taught as a standard 3 credit hour lecture course with significant in-built mini projects and experiments (course outline). The projects involved significant hardware design and demonstration including supporting software simulations.

A total of 5 mini-projects and 1 research project were implemented. Following information can be found below:

· Project description.

· Sample reports: Note: Some information, including student’s name and certain design equations and results, have been wiped out to maintain privacy and minimize plagiarism in future semesters.

· Sample photographs of created circuits and obtained results.

· Sample videos of photogenic projects.
