EE 471W - System Design Validation

Lecture Hours: 2
Lab Hours: 2
Credit Hours: 3

Part two of a capstone course in the methodologies and attributes of systems design. The objective of this course is to complete and validate a system design satisfying requirements defined by the IEEE Student Hardware Contest rules through a final evaluation occurring as a multi-team competition. This course applies test and evaluation as feedback to conceptual, logical and physical design steps of multiple subsystems and the integrated system. Once implemented and tested, the system design is explored in a formal oral presentation to the faculty accompanied by a formal written report. A reflective essay addresses lessons learned from application of a complex systems engineering process that produces both a product and management processes.
