COE 400 System Design Laboratory (1-6-3)
|
|
|
This is a project-oriented course to integrate student.s
hardware and software knowledge through the design, implementation,
debugging and documentation of one major system. Hardware design cycle,
design principles: down/bottom up, divide and conquer, and modular design
techniques. Students are expected to work in teams to come up with a final
working system where they learn to make design decisions weighing various
engineering factors and tradeoffs, e.g cost/performance, and
hardware/software.
