To prepare fully for your project execution and demonstration, you are highly encouraged to perform circuit simulations and experiments at home so that you can figure out a working design for your project. To perform experiments outside of the laboratory, you can loan out a Hantek 3-in-1 digital equipment and a powered breadboard. You can also acquire circuit components from the laboratory, and they are not required to be returned.<\/li>\n<li><strong>SUGGESTION:<\/strong> You are strongly encouraged to complete the following tasks prior to your lab session.\n<ul>\n<li>Perform all simulation work.<\/li>\n<li>Build, test and verify the functionality of all your designed circuits using the Hantek 3-in-1 digital equipment and powered breadboard you have loaned out.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you have completed all of the above tasks in advance, all you have to do during your lab session is to connect the instruments in the laboratory to the constructed circuit on the loaned breadboard and perform your demo.
