Programmed Experimental Teaching Exercises

Programmed Experimental Teaching Exercises have been developed as part of an attempt to create a complete laboratory program which will meet the needs of today's electrical engineering students. These exercises are used as part of the classroom presentation and allow the students, using laboratory procedures, to demonstrate for themselves basic phenomena being studied in the classroom. Each exercise is a carefully worked out demonstration which is performed by a team of two students at an instrumented work station with the aid of an assembled circuit configuration and a detailed program. Each program contains theoretical and explanatory material, detailed instructions for performing the demonstration including the operation of all equipment, and questions and discussion designed to insure the student's understanding of the phenomenon being demonstrated. The exercises are assigned as part of the classroom homework and are performed in a selfdemonstration laboratory during a 2-hour period which the students schedule themselves.
