SOME AIMS OF LABORATORY WORK

Abstract

KNOWLEDGE GAINED from textbooks or teachers is always, at best, second‐hand. It is only the laboratory or workshop which can provide the first‐hand experience so vital to the training of an engineer. Because of this fact all engineering courses in this country provide, to a greater or lesser extent, this opportunity for experience. The aims of laboratory work are common to all forms of electrical engineering but the methods by which they are achieved and the emphasis given to each individual aim varies from course to course. Some of these aims are discussed below.
