Engineering a Smart Object - Specifications and Embedded Design

EE 185A/B/C is a full-year sequence that teaches all of the concepts, knowledge, skills, and techniques to engineer all aspects of a smart object. This second course focuses on understanding the art of specification by writing a specification and fabricating to someone else is written specification. We will also explore embedded system design and the impact of design decisions by redesigning the electronics from EE 185A to meet low power specifications. Students will learn about power, energy, micro controllers, low-level software and how, in embedded systems, electronic hardware, mechanical design, and software are coupled. Course prerequisites: EE 185A as well as CS107, CS107E or instructor approval.
