I am repeating here the course description given at the beginning of the design course (EE481).
Hopefully you can relate these words to the reality of last semester. At the end of this page are some specific new topics that will be presented during the weekly meetings of the full EE 482 class.
The "senior design project" is to develop all of your skills (technical and non-technical) by solving real problems. This will involve project definition, development of detailed project plans, specific use of your technical knowledge, oral presentations, documentation, team building efforts, conflict resolution, and many other (often unpredictable) functions.
All projects must represent solutions to real problems, and your first task will be to convince me, and your customer, that you understand the project and have a plan that will lead to a solution. Your project effort will be primarily monitored by a faculty advisor outside of the two hour weekly class meeting.
One use of the weekly class meeting will be project status reporting (not technical problem solving). It will be required that periodically each project group report on the status of their work with respect to their project plan. In particular, are all tasks complete that should be complete, are all ongoing tasks proceeding as planned (if not why not), and is the group ready to begin all tasks that should start in the near future.
Specific topics that will be covered in the weekly meetings in this second semester are:
In general this weekly gathering will look at "getting the job done" for any job in any environment.
