Faculty of Engineering

The Basic Electronics Laboratory is one of the academic and research laboratories under the Department of Electrical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Universitas Sumatera Utara. It plays a crucial role in supporting practical activities for two core courses: Basic Electronics (TEE1203) and Sensors and Transducers (TEE4125), both of which lay the foundation for understanding and applying electronic devices and sensor technologies.

The lab was originally used to support two separate practical courses—Analog Electronics and Digital Electronics—prior to the 2021 curriculum revision. Since then, these two subjects have been integrated into a single course (Basic Electronics), with all practical sessions continuing to be conducted in this laboratory.

In addition to its teaching functions, the Basic Electronics Laboratory also supports student research related to the design and development of electronic systems and sensor-based technologies. To extend its impact to the community, the lab offers the following services:

1. Diagnosis and repair of electronic instrumentation (oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, and other electronic modules)

2. Modeling, simulation, and prototyping of custom electronic devices

3. Provision of expert witnesses in the field of electronics for legal proceedings

This laboratory continues to evolve to meet the Course Learning Outcomes (CPMK) and to support ongoing research and technological applications in the field of electronics.
