Sažetak
Design of analog and digital electronic circuits is an integral part of the electrical engineering curriculum. Software tools, which enable design, simulation, measuring and circuit analysis as well as PCB (Printed Circuit Board) design, are called EDA (Electronic Design Automation). The paper describes the introduction of EDA software in the first semester of the professional study of electrical engineering at the Zagreb University of Applied Sciences within course Personal Computers in Electrical Engineering. Examples of laboratory exercises related to electrical circuit diagrams, use of component libraries, work in standard laboratory environment (power supplies, function generators, voltmeters, ammeters, oscilloscopes, etc.), circuit analysis in a DC and AC mode as well as in time and frequency domain are described. Focus is on the optimal implementation of EDA tool NI Multisim and its integration with the existing learning management system Moodle as a platform for exercise learning and knowledge assessment.
