Aims
To enhance knowledge and understanding of electrical and electronic circuits by completing a set of practical experiments. To gain experience in practical design of electronic circuits including prototyping and PCB design and manufacture. To develop professional practical skills to undertake experimental laboratory work, to test design ideas in laboratories or through simulation, to analyse and critically evaluate technical issues, and to present and document ideas and results. To develop the ability in data manipulation and sorting. To develop a personal development plan and understand the impact engineering has on the environment.
