ELEC1285 Practical Circuit Analysis with Multisim
This course introduces students to the fundamentals of Multisim, an interactive software suite by National Instruments. Multisim can be used for schematic capture, board layout and integrated testing of electronic circuits. In this course, students build schematics and evaluate circuit performance through interactive simulation and analyses. A majority of this course involves hands on activities which includes constructing, simulating and troubleshooting circuits. At the end of this course students will demonstrate competence by designing and simulating a circuit that demonstrates a real-world application.
