ECED 3901

This course covers advanced aspects of design, interdisciplinary design and failure analysis. Students gain experience in the design of complex systems. The course culminates in a design contest in which groups of students design and implement a system to meet design objectives, and present and defend their design in an oral design review. The course will consist of both classroom and lab work. The classroom component will use case studies, design reviews and conventional lectures. The lab component is devoted to the design and implementation of a solution to the contest challenge.
