Grade Progressing

• Objectives of the project
• The lab will start on Monday: Sep 18, 2006. There will be one experiments for ELG4135. Experiment 
• Send names of the members of your group to your TA: Mohamad Eid: eid@mcrlab.uottawa.ca
  
• In the email state which day you would prefer to conduct the lab (Monday or Tuesday). However, we have the right to move groups from session to session.
  
• Rest of the period: there will be a project, which incorporates many of the techniques learned during the course.
• There are two progress reports. 
• Students may work in groups of 2 or 3. However, the requirements for three person groups are more difficult.
• Send the names the your group before Sep 18, 2006, to the TA: eid@mcrlab.uottawa.ca
  
• Completed reports should be submitted during the final presentation (Peport and Presentation).
• In regards to MULTISIM, there is a demo versionl, the restrictions in this version relate to project size (50 components, 750 pins and 2 layers). It can be downloaded from http://www.electronicsworkbench.com/html/prodemodown.html
