Laboratory Assignments


See the course schedule for lab assignments. The methodology for any particular lab will be presented to you by the instructor during your lab period. It is expected that you will have read the lab prior to the classroom period and that you bring a hard copy of the lab instructions with you. Note that the lab number corresponds to the chapter in the text which covers the same topic.

All labs will require a formal write-up unless otherwise specified by the instructor.
