VIEW ALL COURSE TIMES AND SESSIONS

Prerequisites

ELEC_ENG 326 or instructor consent.

Description

This course puts to practice the knowledge gained in Electronic System Design I, and have students create a fully functional prototype implementation. This involves the same principles as in Electronic System Design I, but more independently, and with some design optimization. The course will also focus on team management and presentation skills, culminating in a project fair to the public. For a student with senior standing, this course can count towards the Design Degree Requirement in EE.

COURSE DETAILS: Specifically, students will develop a complete system through a series of milestones, starting from an idea and culminating in a custom, aesthetic design involving a PCB, 3D-printed enclosure, and a complex processing pipeline. Throughout the process students will thoroughly document their work. Examples of past projects include a smart light bulb, an EMG-controlled robotic arm, a smart doorbell, and an automated plant monitoring and watering system.

If you have senior standing, this course can count towards the Design Degree Requirement in EE.
