Design Review II

Home Schedule Policies Resources Design Notebooks

Purpose

In this design review, your initial hardware design will be reviewed. Your schematic design will be critiqued for completeness and proper design. Your part selection will be critiqued for appropriate selection and identification of alternative parts.

Preparation

Your team should have turned in the following documents by 11:00 AM on the day of the review:

  1. Parts list/cost estimate

  2. Schematic

  3. Updated schedule

Each member should be generally familiar with all parts selected and all portions of the schematic. Each member should be intimately familiar with at least one subsection of the design (i.e. power supply or A/D front end). The reviewers will ask each team member detailed questions about the area(s) of their responsibility.

Grading

Grading will reflect how well the team has prepared the initial hardware design.

Category Percentage of score

Schematic - Schematic is complete and well-drawn. Technical design in each area is sound. 50
