Lab and Project
  • Objectives of the project
  • The lab will start on Monday: Sep 15, 2008. There will be one experiments for ELG4135. Experiment 
  • Send names of the members of your group to your TA:
  • Rest of the period: there will be allocated for a project.
  • 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 15, 2008, to the TA
  • Project Schedule
  • Groups
  • Report 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
