Laboratory Kits:

NO KIT REQUIRED - YOU WILL BE GIVEN A BREADBOARD!

Lab Home Page:

The home page for the ELEC 101 labs is located at the URL
http://www.eg.bucknell.edu/~kozick/elec10101
It can also be accessed by following the link from my home page at

The lab home page contains the laboratory guidelines (this document) and the lab assignments. Links to lecture material may be added later.

Lab Grading:

Your lab grade will be based on attendance, active participation in the lab activities, and the completeness of your lab notebook. The laboratories will count for 30% of your overall grade in ELEC 101. Please refer to the course syllabus from Professor Baish for details about the overall course grading policies.

Laboratory attendance is mandatory. If you have a legitimate reason for not attending lab, please see the lab instructor as soon as possible for alternative arrangements. Please attend during your assigned lab time - one lab section has maximum capacity, so switching lab times will create problems.

Laboratory Guidelines:

Lab description: A written description of each lab exercise will be distributed before the lab session (either on the lab web page or as a paper copy in lecture). Read the lab description before coming to your lab session.
Pre-lab exercises: Pre-lab exercises will be included with some lab assignments to help us complete the lab activities within two hours. Your answers to the pre-lab exercises must be turned in at the beginning of your lab session. You may answer the pre-lab questions in your lab notebook, and I will check your work at the beginning of the lab session.
Lab notebooks: Instead of writing formal lab reports, each of you will keep a lab notebook that will be collected and graded periodically. Your lab notebook must be a bound "composition book" that is available in the bookstore. Loose leaf notebooks are not acceptable. An example of the type of information that your notebook might contain is listed below.
1. Purpose of lab or problem statement
2. Analysis and design used in your solution
3. Procedure:
  - Circuit and test equipment diagrams
  - Description of procedural steps performed during lab
4. Discussion: Results, evaluation of results, conclusions
The discussion is the most important section. You should carefully evaluate your results, and avoid making conclusions that are not supported by the data!
