Honors ECE Design Lab I

Catalog description

Part one of a two-semester-long capstone design experience that provides the opportunity for teams of students to propose, prototype/design, build, test, demonstrate, present and fully document a working prototype of a sophisticated electronic system. In this first part, student teams interact with industry sponsors and/or faculty to develop a proposal for a system, component or process to meet desired needs and specifications within constraints. Student teams will identify opportunities, develop requirements, perform analysis and synthesis, generate multiple solutions, evaluate solutions against requirements, consider risks, and make trade-offs. Course meets with I ECE 490 and, in addition to the team project activities for I ECE 490, honors students will develop a separate, individual honors thesis proposal that expands on the team project. Prerequisite(s): I ECE 300, I ECE 371, I ECE 442, and either I ECE 334 or I ECE 310. For ECE Honors majors only.
