This is a sample of Course description for Third Year Specialised Lab 2020/2021-02

Synopsis

3rd Year Laboratory is a required course for third year students in Bachelor of Engineering degree program. This course requires students to conduct four experiments in four different laboratories (Basic Power, Power Electronics, Basic Microwave, Applied Control Lab). This laboratory is conducted as a Project Based approach. The students are grouped into 3-4 students, and they will be given problems to solve that require them to conduct experiments in-lab (3 hours/week) and out-of-lab (equivalent to 2 hour/week) within three weeks. The students are required to solve the given project as a team, design suitable experimental procedures and conduct the experiments, present the problem solutions and submit a report following the IEEE standard journal format.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

By the end of the course, students should be able to:
