Course Objectives

For ELEC 317
Electrical Engineering Laboratory II

The objectives for this course are for the students to:

• design, order and populate a Printed Circuit Board (PCB);
  
• construct and test a transmitter and receiver pair using some modulation format (PWM, QAM, FM, PPM, etc.);
  
• demonstrate knowledge of frequency response by building and testing a simple linear amplifier;
  
• analyze systems containing varying-length electromagnetic transmission lines;
  
• construct and test a Phase-Locked Loop (PLL);
  
• construct and test systems that include transformers;
  
• conduct open-ended design experiments chosen from a range of Electrical Engineering areas;
  
• work on teams, keep laboratory notebooks, write design project reports, and give oral presentations of their design projects; and describe any standards used in their projects and discuss how their engineering designs impact society.
