3. Improve the Students’ Ability
We focus on the improvement of the students’ ability to analyzing and solving the problems. The students are required to read the large scale circuits clearly, understand the structure and principle of the circuits. They can analyze qualitatively and calculate the coefficients quantitatively. Cultivate the students’ interests on experiments and circuit design. Finally, the students can learn the basic requirements of the circuits design by heart.
