Features

Electronics Workbench-Uses MulitiSim to simulate dc and ac electric circuit experiments on a computer screen using simulated instruments to make circuit measurements, recreating a real laboratory environment. More cost effective and safer than a hardwired lab environment. Interactive Approach-Encourages student participation in the learning process by requiring them to compare measured data with calculated data and answer a series of questions about the results of each experiment during the experiment while the results are fresh in their minds. Leads students to more effective learning and a longer retention of the theoretical concepts. Experiment Theory sections-With all of the technical information needed to do the calculations and answer the questions without referring to another textbook. The manual becomes a combination text and lab manual. Saves students the cost of purchasing another textbook. Troubleshooting Problems-A series of circuits with faults is stored on the accompanying disk and is included at the end of many of the experiments. Forces students to find the fault by making circuit measurements instead of replacing components by trial and error. Materials List and Circuit Diagrams-Included in each experiment so that the experiments can be used in a hardwired laboratory environment in addition to the computer simulations. Enables students to compare the computer simulated results with the results from an actual hardwired circuit.
