Work
required:
- Attend
plenary sessions in Larsen 330 and present power point
team presentations (powerpoint progress report)
in NEB 246. No team member should carry more than 60% of a
team presentation.
- If no
classes in Larsen 330 are scheduled, Mike Stapleton, Stefan Craciun,
and Gijs Bosman are available for consultation in the design lab.
- Have
project notebook signed and checked weekly by TA or instructor
(part of your final grade)
- Submit
a preliminary project
proposal listing title, name of team members, and an
one paragraph description of the
topic (50 words max) by September 3 at noon to
bosman@ece.ufl.edu and
cc to mstap@ece.ufl.edu and craciuns@ufl.edu.
- Attend
PIC processor classes on Sept 4 and Sept 20 in
Larsen 330. Homework for
either the PIC or Atmel project (your choice) due on Th. Sept. 20
- On September
6
Stefan Craciun will introduce and demo the Atmel processor as an
alternative to the
PIC in Larsen 330. Homework for
either the PIC or Atmel project (your choice) due on Th. Sept. 20
- Learn
circuit board design using PROTEL . Classes on September 11 and 13 in
Larsen 330 .
Homework hardcopy due
on September 27.
- Weekly team presentations will start on September 18. Use the Team Progress Report Template and
load it before class on the presentation computer in the Design Lab.
- Submit
a detailed project proposal
by Sept 23 by email to bosman@ece.ufl.edu and
cc to mstap@ece.ufl.edu and craciuns@ufl.edu
- On TBA
lecture on the use of the
logic state analyser to test and troubleshoot the logic part of your
circuit.
- On Thursday October
18
Gijs Bosman will demonstrate in
Larsen 330 how to develop a
business case for your project using excel and where to seek funding.
- Your System
Level Design Report
including a business case is due on Monday October 22
- On October 25 Mike
Stapleton will present a lecture and demo on soldering with specific
attention to handling small parts in Larsen 330.
- On November 27 the last Junior Design
lecture of the semester will be presented in Larsen 330 at 3 pm. 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 (2 copies) during the week of November 28-December
4.
Present
the final report (template link below) 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.
Honesty
Policy
All students admitted to the University of Florida
have signed a statement of
academic honesty committing themselves to be honest in all academic
work and
understanding that failure to comply with this commitment will result
in
disciplinary action. This statement is a reminder to uphold your
obligation as
a UF student and to be honest in all work submitted and exams taken in
this
course and all others.
