Course learning outcomes

The objectives of this course, listed below, are in relationship to DSP microprocessor based systems and communication systems. At the completion of this course students should be able to:

Identify, formulate, and solve practical electrical engineering problems. This includes the planning, specification, design, implementation, and operation of systems, components, and/or processes that meet performance, cost, time, safety, and quality requirements.

Communicate effectively through oral presentations and group discussions.

Communicate effectively through written reports and other documents.

Design and conduct scientific and engineering experiments, and to analyze and interpret the resulting data.

Function and communicate effectively within multidisciplinary teams.

Interact with other students, faculty and practicing professionals on professional and ethical responsibility issues.

Recognize the need for, and ability to engage in, perpetual learning by working on projects, both individually and within multidisciplinary teams, for which they have no prior experience and developing ways to learn.

Use statistical techniques to represent, analyze and interpret data.

 

Topics covered

Students, working together in teams of two or more, are required to design, construct and test, using faculty consultants, electronic systems to meet given specifications. Each student is required to submit written and oral reports on each project. Each student makes oral presentations, on an approximately weekly basis, as is indicated in the schedule. Written feedback is provided for all oral presentations and written reports concerning communication style, effectiveness and technical content. The projects assigned are in the following areas:

Design, development and test of a DSP microprocessor based communication system

   

Contributions to professional component

 

This course includes engineering design.

 

Relationship of course to program outcomes

 

This course addresses EE and CMPE Program Outcomes a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, and k.
