One of the main learning features of the ET program is the complete integration of laboratory experiments and projects within the presentation of the electronics theory. This is accomplished through the introduction of circuit simulation software that simulates the behavior of electronic circuits. Students who enroll in the program receive a licensed copy of CircuitLogix Pro, a leading commercially available simulator that includes both 2D- and 3D-circuit simulation tools. The 3DLAB simulator is introduced early in the content to help students visualize basic electronic circuits, to begin to interact directly with them just like in a real lab and to begin to apply the new skills and knowledge that you have acquired. Animations of the lab simulations supplement the working labs to create a multimedia environment that is very engaging and allows you to virtually step right into the laboratory and the circuit you are working on. The full version of CircuitLogix includes over 4,000 device models, as well as 8 virtual instruments to greatly enhance the user’s comprehension of electronics. Using CircuitLogix, students have the freedom to try all the “what-if” scenarios - changing parts or component values, then re-running the simulation to see how changes affect the circuit’s operation and performance. The Program Includes:
