Section outline

  • Dear Students,

    Welcome to Electrical Circuits with Lab (CSE132 and CSE133). Hope you are safe and healthy. I am Sakib Mahmood Chowdhury, Lecturer, Department of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) and the course teacher of this wonderful course.

    We all know that this is the all time challenging situation of the world as well as Bangladesh. I am congratulating you all to participate in the world class online DIU BLC Classroom in this pandemic. I will try my best to provide all the necessary supports to you, so that you would be able to learn smoothly and effectively using the available online tools and also using the wonderful tools provided by our beloved institution Daffodil International University.

    Thank you and Take Care
