ECE 449: Sensors and Sensor Interface Design

Teams design board-level sensing system that achieves stated specifications. Analog, digital, wireless, optical, and fluidic components. Resource planning and management, project budgeting, study of component specifications and characteristics, vendor interaction, circuit schematic design and simulation, board layout, submission to foundry, component solder assembly, system test, comparison to design specs. Cost, economic viability, ethical and environmental issues, manufacturability considered.
