This unit is an introduction to the design of electronic systems which employ both digital and analogue hardware.
In addition to developing specific technical skills for each subsystem, such as circuit prototyping, microcontroller programming, testing and measurement, it encourages students to look at the system as a whole and understand the trade-offs that engineers may face during the design process.
The project is supported by other units taught in the first-year but also introduces some new concepts.
Students will also develop essential skills such as keeping lab books and writing lab reports.
Students work in small groups to accomplish the following task
On successful completion of this unit students will be able to:
Teaching will be delivered through a combination of synchronous and asynchronous sessions, including lectures, practical activities supported by drop-in sessions, problem sheets and self-directed exercises.
Formative: Coursework Assessment
Summative: Technical Report (Pass/Fail)
Laboratory notes will be provided as part of the unit
