Introduction

ECE 3042, Microelectronics Circuits Laboratory, provides junior/senior level students with the opportunity to study the design, analysis, simulation, implementation, and evaluation of electronic circuits.

The course is co-taught by Dr. Tom Brewer (technical component) and Instructors Christina Bourgeois (writing component) and Michael Laughter (writing component) who collaborate to create discipline-appropriate writing assignments.

Students are required to submit two writing assignments during the course of the semester: an academic-style report and an industry-style document. Students are encouraged to visit the Undergraduate Professional Communications Lab for assistance during any stage in the writing process.
