Our lecture courses in Electronics and in Electricity and Magnetism, both for physics majors, are accompanied by laboratory courses in which the students elect one or more projects, planning and performing them with minimum help from the instructor. Both verbal and written reports are called for. Projects are of three kinds; in the first, only intelligent selection and use of printed references is required ; in the second, a study of the construction and use of a laboratory device is undertaken ; in the third, a new design of some device is taken from the literature and reproduced with modifications originated by the students themselves. Lists of typical projects are given in this paper.
