Learning Objectives

The lab provides a solid introduction to the fundamental concepts of electrical engineering. Students will acquire skills in:

The fundamental laws of electrical engineering (Ohm, Kirchhoff, Joule).
Using oscilloscopes, multimeters and function generators.
Studying passive components in DC circuits: resistors, capacitors and inductors.
Analysing AC circuits with capacitors and coils.
Three-phase electrical systems and their applications.
Variable resistors: temperature-, light- and voltage-dependent.
Behaviour and applications of semiconductors: diodes, transistors, thyristors.
Introduction to operational amplifiers and basic analogue circuits.

Lab Objectives

The lab aims to:

Introduce fundamental concepts through practical, structured experiences.
Provide an in-depth understanding of voltage, current, resistance and power.
Develop practical skills in using electrical measuring instruments.
Encourage critical analysis of DC and AC circuits.
Introduce active components such as semiconductors, motors and transformers.
Approach three-phase systems through guided exercises and application diagrams.

Educational Aims

The lab makes it possible to:

Learn through active methods: using training panels, plug-in modules and visual aids.
Integrate multidisciplinary knowledge: physics, electronics, automation and mathematics.
Develop soft skills: teamwork, time management and group problem solving.
Simulate real scenarios: technical exercises that reproduce professional environments.
Promote inclusion: a learning path accessible to students with different cognitive styles.

Conclusion

The “Principles of Electrical Engineering” lab is the starting point for technical training in the electrical sector.

Through a progressive, hands-on approach, students learn to build, analyse and test real circuits, developing both operational and conceptual skills.

The learning environment, rich in components, measuring instruments and support sheets, makes learning effective, inclusive and immediately applicable at school and at work.
