E1201: Intro. to Electrical Engineering

Laboratory Schedule

The lab for the course is located in 1206 Mudd Bldg. The lab space is dedicated exclusively to this course. The lab has 13 work stations, each one to be used by a team of two students. We will have 4 lab sections. To see the detailed schedule and also find out which lab you have been assigned to, please see the Lab Sections page.

The following is the schedule of lab experiments. Make sure that you read the relevant material from Tsividis' book in advance of coming to the lab. Also, in preparation for the first lab, you must read the introductory material in pages 1-13 ('Good Lab Practices', and 'Ground Connections').
