Untitled document
  The student will be able to:
     1. analyze resistance measurements using a VTVM.
     2. construct circuits following a schematic diagram.
     3. evaluate current through different parts of an electrical
        circuit using an ammeter.
     4. evaluate voltage across different points in an electrical
        circuit using a voltmeter.
     5. use an oscilloscope to compare/contrast DC and AC.
     6. assemble lab results using data tables, schematics, and
        graphs as appropriate.
