• Each student will bring a bound laboratory book and a Print Out of the Lab Experiment
Manuals available on the Lab Web Page to the laboratory
• A laboratory report will be required for each experiment unless otherwise specified by
the instructor. Report format should adhere to the guidelines set forth laboratory report
guidelines
• Students are expected to clean up their work area before leaving the lab
• Students are expected to handle the equipment with care and attention

Attendance:
The attendance policy of the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering in accordance with Florida
Agricultural and Mechanical University and Florida State University is strictly observed.
• Three unexcused absences will be allowed before the student is dropped from the
class with grade F
• Students more than 20 minutes late are considered absent
 • Students are not to leave the lab early without consulting with the instructor in
advance
• Excused absences must be verified by the ECE Department

Ethics
Students are expected to comply with the academic honor code of their parent University.

No cells, pagers, beepers etc during the lab. Please turn them off prior to the lab.

Lab Reports:
• Lab reports should be submitted the following week at the beginning of the lab period.
• 10 points will be deducted per day, for late submission of reports.
• Should be a neatly typed report with tables and circuits printed out
• DO NOT TURN IN IDENTICAL LAB REPORTS AS YOUR PARTNER. LAB
REPORTS SUSPECTED TO BE IDENTICAL WILL NOT BE GRADED!!
• All lab reports are expected to have at minimum the following sections:

1. Introduction:
Should contain purpose of experiment in couple of sentences and introduction
to the experiment.
2. Brief Theory:
Show the minimization processes used in coming to a particular minimum
expression and explain the procedure. Include any prelab calculations, if any.
3. Experimental Data:
Should include measurements, graphs, tables, and answers to questions.
Expected results can be shown with measured results.
4. Discussion
Analyze the data and compare it with the expected results. Explain
discrepancies if any. Make sure all equations are typed neatly using Microsoft
Equation Editor. All graphs should be done using Microsoft Word or Excel.
Hand written equations and graphs are UNACCEPTABLE
5. Conclusion
Give a thoughtful conclusion of the experiment. Do not at any point use
statements like “I really learned a lot…” “This helped me learn…”

Individual points are assigned based on neatness, completeness, and overall quality of work.
The grading for each lab report will be based on the following (subject to change):
Introduction/Description 10%
Brief Theory 20%
Experimental Data 30%
Discussion 30%
Conclusion 10%

Course Web Page:

A course web page is available under the FSU Blackboard system at http://campus.fsu.edu.

Student with Disabilities:

Students with disabilities needing academic accommodations should: (1) Register with and
provide documentation to the Student Disability Resource Center (SDRC); and (2) Bring a
letter to the instructor from the SDRC indicating you need accommodations. This should be
down within the first week of class. This syllabus and other class materials are available in
alternative format upon request.

Lab Notebook Guidelines

• Lab notebooks should be bound (i.e. NOT spiral)

• Number all pages used in the lab notebook
• First page of Lab Notebook should have a table of contents with ‘No/ #’, ‘date’, ‘title
of experiment’, ‘page number’, ‘place for instructor’s signature’, section
• Use left side of the book for sticking experiment code and right side for experiment
details
• Make all entries in ink
• Do not remove pages from the notebook
• Do not erase/obliterate any data entered. Cross a line on the data that is not required.
• Sequentially number all the pages of the lab notebook starting from Lab # 1.
• At the end of the experiment, draw a line across empty page that is not used and sign
and date the data entered.
• Have the instructor sign your lab notebook at the completion of the experiment or end
of the lab time; whichever comes first.
• PRELAB (Prelab will be checked before the start of each lab)
o Write the purpose of each lab before the Prelab (include circuit drawings to be
performed in the lab)
o Include Setup of experiment, Equipment description, and Objectives
o Summarize the Procedure to be performed in the lab
o Answer any prelab questions if mentioned on the website.
• Stick (not staple) the rules of maintaining the notebook (hand out given in lab) at the
front cover as mentioned during lab.
• Should have a section at the end of experiments about problems encountered
• BE NEAT (There are points for Neatness)

V characteristic of the silicon P-N junction diode.
2. Measure the ripple voltage and calculate the voltage regulation of a half-wave
rectifier, a full-wave rectifier, and a DC voltage doubler circuit.
3. Draw the I-V characteristics of a zener diode in the reverse bias and estimate the
value of the zener knee voltage.
4. Calculate the voltage regulation for each load resistance in a zener regulating
circuit.
5. Generate the I-V characteristic of a MOSFET and calculate its transconductance.
6. Generate the I-V characteristic of a BJT and calculate its forward current gain.
7. Generate the voltage transfer characteristics of BJT and MOSFET inverters.
8. Determine the bias points of BJT and MOSFET single-stage amplifier circuits.
9. Calculate the voltage gain, input resistance, and output resistance of BJT
common-emitter amplifier and common-source amplifier circuits.
10. Design, construct, and evaluate a practical electronic circuit by using the
knowledge they have gained in their circuit theory and electronic courses.
