Electronics coursework
Vocational Portfolio
Over sixty labs across three years of hands-on electronics, building, measuring, and troubleshooting real circuits from AC theory through digital logic. A selection of them is below, each with its full report.
Sophomore AC theory & analog fundamentals 4 examples +
Supercapacitor Powered Car
Researched, designed, and built a car powered by a capacitor, sized to travel the length of a basketball court.
Report →Experiment 49: AC RLC Series Circuits
Built an AC RLC series circuit and characterised its behaviour across frequencies where it acts capacitively versus inductively.
Report →Lab 2: Zener Diodes
Built a zener voltage regulator and measured the diode's effect on circuit current in forward and reverse bias.
Report →Experiment 36: Inductance
Built an inductive circuit and observed the collapsing magnetic field around an inductor.
Report →Junior Transistors & op-amps 4 examples +
Lab 14: Common Emitter Amplifier Biasing and Gain
Biased a common emitter transistor amplifier and measured its gain.
Report →Experiment 30: Op-Amp Basic Circuits
Built and tested multiple op-amp configurations across a range of applications.
Report →Final Project: Op-Amp Troubleshooting
Year end capstone diagnosing faults in complex op-amp circuits, combining hand analysis with simulation software.
Report →Senior Digital electronics 4 examples +
Lab 5: 4-Bit Adder
Built half and full adders from AND, NOR, and XOR gates to form a working 4-bit adder.
Report →Lab 6: 4-Bit BCD Adder and Subtractor
Built a 4-bit BCD adder and subtractor with seven segment display decoding on the output.
Report →Lab 8: Roulette Wheel
Combined logic gates, counters, JK flip-flops, a 555 timer, and decoders into a working roulette wheel, taken through to a routed board in Inventor and Ultiboard.
Report →Lab 13: Full Clock Project
Final project building a clock that displays minutes and seconds, from divide-by counters and seven segment decoders driven by a 1 pps pulse derived from AC line frequency.
