Linking Simulation Tools To Laboratory Experiments: Teaching Design Verification In Engineering Technology

The Electronics Engineering Technology (EET) program at Texas A&M University is currently working with industry to incorporate both digital and analog testing techniques into the curriculum. One area that has been identified as important by industry is helping future engineers understand the concept of integrating simulation into the design verification and testing process. This has led to ongoing efforts by the authors to bring simulation into the laboratory in both the analog and digital electronics course sequences.
