Course learning outcomes

The objectives of this course, listed below, are in relationship to design, analysis and synthesis of digital and microprocessor based circuits and 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.

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

Function and communicate effectively, both individually and 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.

Topics covered

Students, working together in teams of two or more, are required to design, construct and test, using faculty consultants, two electronic systems to meet given specifications. Each student is required to submit written and oral reports on each project. The projects assigned are in the following areas:

Design, development and test of a digital system

Design, development and test of a microprocessor based system

Class/laboratory schedule
