Learning with LabVIEW 8
Robert H. Bishop,   ISBN 0-13-239025-6 , Pearson Prentic Hall, 2007

Course Description

The laboratory course covers the textbook Chapter 3 MathScript, Chapter 5 SubVIs, Chapter 6 Structures, Chapter 7 Arrays and Clusters, Chapter 8 Charts and Graphs. It also covers the manual of Getting Started with LabVIEW Chapter 1~3, and includes a project.

Couse Objectives

To gain basic knowledge and skill of writing LabVIEW codes;

At the end, the students will be able to develop handling skills and be able to write LabVIEW codes independently, as well as apply the LabVIEW skills on any compicated project.

COURSE REQUIREMENT AND METHOD OF EVALUATION

1) 10 Class Assignments (week 1-10) will make up 50% of your grade;

2) The project (week 11-14) will make up 40%;

3) The presentation takes 10%.

GRADING CRITERI

The grade distribution will be as follows.
A 88% and higher
B 72-87%
C 55-71%
D 41-54%
F 40% and below

We use the +/- system so in each range (no A+), the low end will be minus and the high end plus.
