- Content
- The course is designed around a project platform. Students are required to design required hardware and software to provide the platform with sensors and actuators. Project management software is introduced to simulate a real project. Software is used to design required hardware and a microprocessor is programmed in a relevant high level language. The process will cover:-The steps of the design process for a specific project.-Estimation of the time plan, resources and budget.-The creation of a design.-The circuit design is tested on a simulation package.-The circuit boards are populated.-The circuit boards are installed and tested in an experimental platform.-The system is evaluated against the design specifications.-Team roles and functions are practised and contributions are evaluated.-Outcomes are reported to peers.-Monitoring of ethical behaviour and interpersonal skills
