EEL 3791C - Computer Engineering Design Lab 1

Credits: 3

Course Description: THIS COURSE AIMS TO BUILD ON SKILLS LEARNED DURING IN PRECEDING COURSES AND PUT THEM TO USE TOWARDS DESIGNING AND EXECUTING COMPUTER ENGINEERING LABORATORIES. STUDENT TEAMS WILL INVESTIGATE AND THEN DEVELOP DEMONSTRABLE LABORATORY PROTOTYPE DEVICES OR SYSTEMS USING COMPUTER ENGINEERING PRINCIPLES AND SKILLS INCLUDING TOPICS FROM CIRCUITS 1 AND 2, DIGITAL LOGICAL DESIGN, AND DIGITAL ELECTRONICS. STUDENTS WILL BE GUIDED THROUGH PROJECT-BASED LEARNING EXPERIENCES AND GENERAL DESIGN PRACTICES AND PROCESSES WITH ACCESS TO COURSE MATERIALS, SOFTWARE, AND LABORATORY EQUIPMENT. THE COURSE WILL INCLUDE FUNCTIONAL REPRESENTATIONS, CONCEPT EVALUATION, PLANNING, AND REQUIRE EXTENSIVE WRITTEN COMMUNICATION AND DOCUMENTATION. TEAMS WILL UTILIZE SOFTWARE, HARDWARE, AND INSTRUMENTS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE LABORATORY PROTOTYPE DEVICES OR SYSTEMS. THIS COURSE WILL ENHANCE STUDENTS’ KNOWLEDGE OF DESIGN PROCESSES AS WELL AS CORE ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING TOPICS AND PREPARE THEM TO TACKLE FUTURE OPEN-EN.
