Engineering a Smart Object - Adding Connectivity and Putting it ALL Together

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. In this third course, the students bring everything they have learned in EE 185 A/B to bear by engineering a simple smart object of their choosing. We will add an essential ingredient of a Smart Object - connectivity and learn about how this effects system design. During this Quarter, each student will write a precise specification, create and analyze their design to a degree such that it is certain it will work as intended the first time they build it. They will also fabricate and demonstrate their Smart Object by the end of the Quarter. Course prerequisites: EE 185B or instructor approval.
