to verify calculator results. From simple diode designsand waveform presentations to MOSFET and BJT operating point calculations, the Matlabprogram can be very helpful to make sure that the data is correct and that the studentunderstands design procedures. Changes in Q point can be quickly obtained and can leadto optimum designs. Amplifier designs can also be obtained very easily and can bemodified at will.Keywords: MatLab, Diode Modeling, MOSFET Design, BJT Design1. IntroductionWhen students enter into the Engineering program at the University of Pittsburgh atBradford, the programming language of choice and of necessity is Excel. About ninetypercent of the incoming Freshmen had some exposure to Excel in high school which madeit easy to have
