A. COURSE DESCRIPTION

This is the laboratory component of ENGG 111.02: Electronics I course. It provides hands-on
activities covering electronic circuit devices and models as well as the principles of semiconductor
devices. It aims to develop a basic understanding of the characteristics of p-n diodes, bipolar junction
transistors and apply them to diode and transistor circuits.

B. LEARNING OUTCOMES

At the end of the course, the student:

1. are expected to have the technical skills and understanding of the devices and circuits that
were discussed during the Electronics I course lectures. 1
2. should display skills at circuit assembly and in using different test equipment in consideration
of laboratory safety. 2
3. should be able to characterize, identify and have a working knowledge of diodes, bipolar
junction transistors and other basic electronics components in an actual circuit. 3
4. should be able to identify different circuit designs employing diodes and bipolar junction
transistors. 4
5. should be able to design, build and debug basic diode and transistor circuits such as clippers,
clampers, common base, common collector and common emitter amplifier configurations. 5
6. should be able to analyze diode and transistor circuits and compute related parameters to
these devices. 6
7. should be able to discuss and build simple systems involving these circuits. 7
 8. are expected to use laboratory equipment and simulation software to conduct experiments
involving electronic devices and circuits in order to verify theoretical discussions as well as
analyze and interpret data.
9. should be able to use simulation and information literacy tools in the design of electronic
systems for laboratory and project hands-on works and reports.
10. should be able to work and sustain a team environment with the purpose of pooling
knowledge, ideas and efforts towards laboratory activities and projects specific to electronic
devices and circuits.

H. CLASSROOM POLICIES

1. Dress Code
Please wear decent clothes. Refer to the latest edition of the Loyola Schools’
Undergraduate Student Handbook for more details.

2. Cuts
Arriving 10 minutes after the second bell will merit an absence/cut. A maximum of 2 cuts is
allowed for this subject. Exceeding the maximum number of cuts will mean a grade of W for
the course. Those who were absent on a laboratory period automatically get a grade of zero
for the lab activity done during that day, and for the post-lab report for the corresponding lab
activity. Make-up lab activities will be given only for absences due to valid reasons as stated in
the student handbook (with proper proof).
 *Unlimited absence for Dean’s Lister will not be honored/ recognized in this class.

3. Student Behavior
The instructor reserves the right to reproach students who are being a disturbance in class.
She may also send students to leave the class if the disturbance becomes an extreme nuisance.
Leaving the class (for any reason) without completion of the lab activity will merit necessary
deductions on the lab activity and zero grade for the post---lab report of that activity. Also,
eating inside the laboratory is not allowed.

4. Using Electronic Devices

The use of any electronic gadget is prohibited unless told by the instructor. If a student wishes
to answer an emergency phone call or text, the student may leave the room quietly to answer.

5. Sit-in Students
A student not enrolled in this class can sit in, if and only if, the student asks permission
from the instructor and adheres to all class rules. If the sit - in student becomes a distraction to the
class, the student will be asked to leave.

6. Information Dissemination
An appropriate venue for the distribution of information, such as an e-group, will be made at the
start of the semester. All announcements, files, and relevant information will be passed
through this common venue, usually after an announcement in class.

7. Academic Honesty
Please refer to the latest edition of the Loyola Schools’ Undergraduate Student Handbook.
Dishonesty will be dealt accordingly.

8. Data Privacy
During the semester, personal data may be requested from the students (e.g. contact information
and “in case of emergency” information) for facilitating the delivery of the course. Sensitive
information will be kept confidential and will not be disclosed to other parties without consent
of the student.

9. Special Needs
If a student has certain special needs, kindly approach the instructor personally so an
appropriate arrangement could be made.

10. Submissions
Post-lab reports should be submitted 2 days after the laboratory activity (12 NN). Example, for
lab activities done on Mondays, post-lab reports should be submitted on Thursday. Post-lab
reports submitted the day after will have 10% deduction and this will double each day past
deadline. Example, post-lab reports submitted on Thursday after 12 NN will get 10% deduction,
Friday – 20% deduction, Saturday – 40% deduction, Sunday – 80% deduction. Format will be
discussed in class.
Submissions of the class shall be through email with the following details:
a. Subject line must be [Course Code Section] Lab Activity Number, Family Name
b. Must be submitted only to the email provided below or thru turn-it-in.
