Work
required:
- Attend
plenary sessions in Larsen 310 and present power point
team presentations (teamlist) (powerpoint
team progress report)
in NEB 246. No team member should carry more than 60% of a
team presentation.
- If no
classes in Larsen 310 or team presentations in the design lab are
scheduled either the TA, Mike
Stapleton, or Gijs Bosman are
available for
consultation in the lab.
- Have
project notebook checked and signed weekly by TA or
instructor
(part of your final grade)
- Note:
If you have not taken a Junior Design class attend the following three
mircroprocessor lectures and decide which processor you are going to
use for your project. Homework is due only for the one you choose.
- Attend
the PIC1 processor class on May
20 in
Larsen 310 starting at 9:30.
Homework is due by 3 pm May 29
in the senior designlab
- Attend
the ATMEL processor class on May
22 in
Larsen 310 starting at 9:30.
Homework is due by 3 pm May 29
in the senior designlab
- Attend
the TI MSP processor class on May
27 in
Larsen 310 starting at 9:30.
Homework is due by 3 pm June 3
in the senior designlab
- Learn
circuit board design using PROTEL . Class on Protel on May 29 in
Larsen 310 starting at 9:30 .
Homework hardcopy due
on June 5 by 3 pm in
the senior design lab.
- PIC2 and PROTEL2 classes on June 5 in
Larsen 310 starting at 9:30.
- Team progress report meetings will start on
Tuesday June 3
at 9:30 in the senior design lab NEB 246 (team
list, power point team progress
report template)
- On July 10
Mike
Stapleton will present a lecture and demo on soldering with specific
attention to handling small parts in Larsen 310.
- On July 10
Gijs Bosman will demonstrate in
Larsen 310 how to develop a
business case for your project using excel and where to seek funding.
- On July 29
the last Senior Design
lecture of the semester will be presented in Larsen 310 . We
will go over the final demo schedule, discuss professional ethics,
present graduate school and professional eductaion options and at
the end of class the UF student course evaluation will be administered.
- Demonstrate
your project and present a final
report (1 hardcopy plus
electronic email submission) during the period
of July 31-August 5. Present
the final report at demo time. Make sure circuit diagrams are included
and referenced/discussed in the text. Also your abstract needs to be
updated to reflect outcomes of your project.
- A POSTER SESSION will take place on
Thursday August 7 in the NEB
Rotunda from 10-11 am. Set-up from 9-9:45,
general
audience
and judges will be invited for 10 am. Use a poster board and your
powered
up product to present the highlights and details of your project.
Examples are placed in the design lab. Use
sections of your final report and again, include circuit and
system level diagrams with team names, abstract, cost, outcomes,
testing results, etc. You can collect all your info on a single
large poster and print it for $3 using the HP1055CM color plotter in
the Architecture 118 Computer lab.
Report
Deadlines: submit reports electronically
to bosman@ece.ufl.edu,
mstap@ece.ufl.edu, tba
- Submit
a preliminary project
proposal listing project title,team name, name of team members, and an
one paragraph description of the
topic (50 words max) by May 25.
- Submit
a detailed project
proposal
by June 8.
- CANCELLED:
Submit
a system
level design report
by June 29: Cancelled
- Present a final
report
(1 hard copy plus electronic copies) at demo time. Make sure circuit
diagrams are included
and referenced/discussed in the text. Also your abstract needs to be
updated to reflect outcomes of your project.
Grading:
To earn
a B or
better, the prototype will have to work during presentation. Typically no
incompletes are given.
