INEL4077

This document provides a course syllabus for a Basic Electronics Laboratory course offered at the University of Puerto Rico Mayagüez Campus. The 3 credit course is designed to develop basic skills in electrical circuit measurements through experiments with digital and analog circuits. Students will study topics including series and parallel resistive circuits, capacitive and inductive reactance, RLC circuits, diodes, transistors, and logic circuits. The course involves 45 contact hours over the semester, divided between lectures, experiments, and exams. Student evaluation will be based on exams, quizzes, oral reports, and homework, with exams accounting for 40% of the final grade. Required resources include knowledge of basic circuit theory.
