Objectives To introduce students to the methodology of an industrial project through the following stages of an electronic circuit design: project investigation, computer simulation, design and construction of a prototype.
Synopsis A nominal two hours per week in the first semester to undertake an investigation into an industrial problem related to electronic engineering and system design. The investigation will be supported by design work and construction of a prototype. The prototype will be used to assess the quality of the design and to obtain experience in circuit construction, fault finding, error correction and modification. Students are also required to prepare a project user manual containing operational and technical information.
Assessment Practical work, laboratory work and fieldwork: 100%
