This laboratory manual provides detailed step-by-step instruction sto support beginning students of all levels so they gradually build up their confidence as they take their first design steps in a professional, real-world, electrical engineering laboratory. A set of carefully selected experiments based on experience acquired over several decades ensures that students get exposed to a wide range of topics starting from simple DC circuits to more involved second order filters and training on using professional engineering instruments. Important application-inspired experiments have also been included to make a complete semester-long laboratory.
