Designed to accompany Microelectronic Circuits, Seventh Edition, by Adel S. Sedra and Kenneth C. Smith, Laboratory Explorations invites students to explore the realm of real-world engineering through practical, hands-on experiments.

Taking a "learn-by-doing" approach, it presents labs that focus on the development of practical engineering skills and design practices. Experiments start from concepts and hand analysis, and include simulation, measurement, and post-measurement discussion components. A complete solutions manual is also available to adopting instructors.
