Introduction to Electrical Engineering
Online
Labs.: During Corona pandemic we designed and developed very cheap but
powerfull so called
functionscope instrument for students. Each instrument (functionscope)
consistes of a
function generator, power supply and an osciiloscope. It only
costed 20$ for its development. We sent developed instruments to
students without any charge to help them to conduct
experiements at home during Corona virus pandemic. Using these
instruments, students were able to conduct experiements during Lab.
