About EE122
Curiosity-driven laboratories with a flexible structure. A team-based approach to learning. Practical, rather than theory-driven content. Preparation for laboratories will involve team research and analysis, rather then lengthy write-ups. An informal lab-book-based approach to taking data. No formal examinations (midterms or final), with grading based on laboratory notebooks, teamwork, and final project. Final project with a full three weeks provided for design and construction. Final demos given by each team to the entire class.

Grading
Laboratory notebooks - 20% Formal laboratory write-ups - 30% Final project (team) demonstration/presentation and write-up - 40% TA evaluation of laboratory skills (individual) - 10%

On Clear Communication
You are the chief airplane washer at the company hangar and you:
(1) Hook high pressure hose up to the soap suds machine. (2) Turn the machine "on". (3) Receive an important call and have to leave to go home. (4) As you depart for home, you yell to Don, your assistant, "Don, turn it off. (5) Assistant Don thinks he hears, "Don't turn it off. He shrugs, and leaves the area right after you. (6) Refer to next slide for the results.
As with any occupation make sure everyone has a clear understanding of what you are communicating. This un-doctored picture shows what actually happened.

Safety Issues
Electricity can kill you. Keep voltages below +/-15 V unless specifically authorized. No line-powered projects please. Use the bench power supplies, wall wart AC adapters, solar cells, or batteries. If any circuits interface to the human body, they must be battery powered and isolated from any instruments, etc.

Schedule
Week of 9/29 - Instrumentation: Physical and Virtual (SPICE) First class is: Monday 9/29 Notes: Lab assignments, course organization will be discussed. Kovacs, Gilchrist, Ricks, and TAs will introduce themselves in class and schedule laboratory times. Students should purchase textbooks and laboratory books. Lecture Topics: Review of basic instruments (physical and virtual). Review of electronic components. Introduction to the design process. Week of 10/6 - Basic Op-Amp Concepts
Students will learn how to operate the electronic instruments in the laboratory and familiarize themselves with the necessary software, as required. Lecture Topics: Power sources such as basic power supply circuits, batteries, etc. Operational amplifier circuits (inverting and non-inverting amplifiers, summers, etc.). Limitations and strengths of integrated circuit opertional amplifiers.
26
Schedule
Week of 10/13 - Frequency Concepts and Nonlinear Circuits Students will experiment with simple operational amplifier circuits and get a feel for what these chips can and cannot do. Lecture Topics: Analog filter circuits. Nonlinear operational amplifier circuits. Simple oscillators. Week of 10/20 - Interface Circuits
Students will learn to use filters, nonlinear circuits with op-amps, and how to generate a basic set of useful signals. Fooling around with the circuits will be encouraged. Lecture Topics: Interface circuits to motors, relays, lamps, etc., using discrete transistors (bipolar and MOSFET). Digital-to-analog and analog-to-digital concepts. Basic sensor concepts - how circuits see, feel, hear, etc.
Project proposals due in class on Monday, 10/27. Approved project proposals will be returned to teams in class on Wednesday, 10/29. Turning in proposals early is highly encouraged!
