Introduction
This is the Lab Manual for CPE 214 Computer-Aided Engineering Design. The
labs constitute 25% of the total marks for this course.
During the labs you will work in groups (no more than three students per group).
You are required to complete the ‘Pre-Lab’ section of the lab before coming to the
lab. You will be graded for this and the ‘In-Lab’ tasks during the in-lab viva. You
will complete the ‘Post-Lab’ section of each lab before coming to the next week’s
lab.
You are not allowed to wander in the lab or consult other groups when performing
experiments. Similarly, the lab reports must contain original efforts. CIIT has a
zero tolerance anti-plagiarism policy.
Apart from these weekly labs you will complete two projects. One mini project that
will count towards your Lab Sessional II score and a Final Project which will be
graded as Lab Final Exam. The grading policy is already discussed in the Course
Description File.

Safety Precautions
• Be calm and relaxed, while working in lab.
• First check your measuring equipment.
• When working with voltages over 40 V or current over 10 A , there must be at least two
people in the lab at all time.
• Keep the work area neat and clean.
• Be sure about the locations of fire extinguishers and first aid kit.
• No loose wires or metals pieces should be lying on the table or near the circuit.
• Avoid using long wires, that may get in your way while making adjustments or
changing leads.
• Be aware of bracelets, rings, and metal watch bands (if you are wearing any of them).
Do not wear them near an energized circuit.
• When working with energize circuit use only one hand while keeping rest of your body
away from conducting surfaces.
• Always check your circuit connections before power it ON.
• Always connect connection from load to power supply.
• Never use any faulty or damage equipment and tools.
• If an individual comes in contact with a live electrical conductor.
o Do not touch the equipment, the cord, the person.
o Disconnect the power source from the circuit breaker and pull out the plug using
insulated material.
