Please see the expected learning outcomes for a detailed list of expected outcomes and goals for this course.
Study of mixed digital and analog system design including embedded software design. Student teams begin a system level design of a project (a non-disclosure agreement may be required). Projects typically include use of a microcontroller and may include analog-to-digital converters, digital signal-processing chips, external memories, power supplies, user interfaces and more. Students provide detailed schedules for building prototype systems and present periodic progress reports. During the course, students produce a technical specification, undergo a Preliminary Design Review (PDR) and build a working prototype system. Equivalent: CPE 4211.
Continued study of mixed digital and analog system design including embedded software design. Student teams design printed circuit boards for their products using CAD PCB layout tools and continue to refine the prototype hardware and software designs from EE 4211. Special topics include design-for-test, user interface design, and minimizing electromagnetic interference (EMI). Teams write a detailed technical report and submit their designs to a Critical Design Review. Periodic progress reports and team presentations are required. Includes study of the relationships connecting work in a chosen career with serving God.
Designs from EE 4212 are developed into a manufacturing prototype and tested.
Covers testing methodology (hardware and software), board debugging, and
documentation methodology. Periodic progress reports, a team poster, and final presentations are
required. Continued study of the relationships connecting work in a chosen
career with serving God including writing reflective essays. Completion of the
CFE Senior Project is required for this course. Writing Course.
