Handbook

This 6 unit of credit course is the capstone for the first two years of the program, where students will apply their learning from earlier electrical engineering courses to a design project. Working in small groups, students will develop their own prototype electronic circuits, and integrate them to create a functional system which meets specified requirements. The project requires students to be self-directed in finding solutions to open-ended design problems, and to work effectively in a team environment. The course centres around lab-based project activities, which are supported by lessons on the practical aspects of creating an electrical system, techniques to ensure system quality, and effective communication of engineering information. Students are expected to communicate their results using appropriate language, mathematics, and figures of the electrical engineering profession.
