analyses utilizing current, voltage and power measurements in both AC andDC signal environments. These electric circuits laboratories convened weekly during thesemester and were preceded by a preassigned laboratory exercise.

In addition, it requires a single-use laboratory facilities which occupies considerablededicated space. Recent studies have shown that students benefit significantly from workingindividually on their laboratory assignments[3]; however, availability of laboratory facilities andequipment limit the full
