摘要
The paper presents the application of information technology (IT) tools to a laboratory course for measurement, analysis, design, and simulation of typical electric and electronic circuits. It shows modern computer data acquisition systems used for measurement of real circuits, mathematical software IT tools used for theoretical analysis and design, and circuit simulation software IT tools used for the development of a virtual laboratory. It illustrates how spreadsheets and other IT tools are used for data recording and/or result comparisons among measurement, theoretical calculation, and simulation. The paper shows the mechanisms and approaches developed for strong correlation between theories and hands-on experimentation using modern computer tools for the purpose of quality education of the laboratory course in electric and electronic circuits.
