Lab Description

Prelabs are always due in lecture on the first day that a new lab is beginning regardless of what day your lab takes place.  i.e. Monday groups still need to submit when Thursday groups start their lab.

Postlabs are due two weeks after lab finishes so that they don't conflict with the prelab of the next lab.  Because of this the deadlines aren't as generous as they look.

Both prelabs and postlabs should be considered "project quality" documents and should be submitted typed with computer generated graphs.  All prelabs and postlabs, other than the first prelab, may be submitted as a group.

Lab1 -- Two Sessions -- Passive Components and Modelling of Parasitics 

Prelab Due: 9/2 or 9/7 for Monday or Thurday groups respectively.              Postlab Due: 9/28
