Nida developed the Performance Testing (PT) program to ensure that
the skills learned during the experiments and the knowledge gathered during the
theoretical sections of the program were properly transferred to a real life situation.
The PT(s) provide different scenarios where a student is expected to logically assess
the condition of a circuit, properly use test equipment to measure circuit values,
compare actual values with expected values, and isolate a problem area when the
actual values do not align with the expected values.
