New Laboratory Experiments in Analog Electronics Courses Using Microcomputer-based Instrumentation and LabVIEW

这个项目提供了新的改进的实验室实验，与为期两年的电气工程技术课程的模拟电子课程有关。利用基于微型计算机的工作站和LabVIEW进行了温度效应、非线性系统、先进器件和电路以及噪声效应的实验。该项目涉及开发新的测试方法或虚拟仪器来表征新的实验室实验。该工作站还可用于与电气工程技术中的电路和模拟电子课程以及二年级工程课程相关的其他实验室实验。在这个项目中，学生的学习行为和对与建议实验相关的概念的理解也被研究。正在设计一项问题调查，以获得学生对新实验室设备和LabVIEW使用情况的反馈。

This project provides new improved laboratory experiments pertaining to analog electronics courses in a 2-year electrical engineering technology program. Experiments related to temperature effects, nonlinear systems, advanced devices and circuits, and noise effects are conducted using the microcomputer-based workstation and LabVIEW. The project involves developing new test methods or virtual instruments to characterize the new laboratory experiments. The workstations can also be utilized for other laboratory experiments related to circuit and analog electronics courses in electrical engineering technology and sophomore engineering curricula. In this project, the student's learning behavior and understanding of the concepts related to proposed experiments are also studied. A survey of questions is being devised to get the feedback from students regarding the usage of new laboratory equipment and LabVIEW.
