In fact,the criteria for accrediting engineering technology programs specify that theory courses shouldbe accompanied by coordinated laboratory experiences. A laboratory course accompanies almostevery electronics engineering technology course in the IET curriculum at East CarolinaUniversity. In these laboratories, students design and construct electronic circuits and machines,then use electrical test equipment to measure the characteristics of the constructed circuits andmachines to compare their findings with theory presented in the corresponding lecture courses.
