Our first lecture is scheduled for Wednesday, September 8 at 9:30 in SW03-1710.
Labs will begin the second week. Parts kits for the labs will be available for purchase from the BCIT bookstore starting in late July for $31.95. These are only available to students registered in the course -- you will need to ask for the "ELEX 2117 Parts Kit" at the front counter and show ID. You will also need some components from your Level 1 parts kit (some space on your breadboard, Dupont/Berg jumper wires, and the USB-Blaster).
Lecture and lab notes for the previous term are available. These will be updated and reflect that you will be able to get help and demonstrate completed labs in person.

Under Activities / Quizzes you'll find the Quizzes and Exams from last term (Winter 2021). The material and the order in which we are covering it has changed somewhat so you'll have to use your judgement in deciding which questions are still relevant. You can take each quiz/exam as often as you wish and in most cases you'll see different versions of each question on each attempt.
