PC/CP300: Electronics Laboratory II

Design Project

Introduction:

The objective of the design project is to design, build a prototype, and document a simple data acquisition or control system circuit. For the design project, students will work in groups of two or three.

The project due dates are the same for all projects. The project deliverables are essentially the same for all projects. The final deliverables for the project will be a demonstration of the prototype and a technical documentation package as outlined in the documentation standards section on the course web page. The format for the documentation package will be a web page.

A technical documentation package has a very simple layout and format composed primarily of text, tables, and diagrams. This is not a marketing document. For an example of a good circuit description see Simple infra-red detector [© 2003 ELH Communications Ltd].
