This one term course has two objectives. (1) The lectures provide students with advice on design, project management, reliability, practical advice on software, circuits and components and the documentation of their work. The lectures are organized as a seminar series presented by the faculty lab coordinators and practising engineering professionals. The seminar series’ goal is to provide students with knowledge that will assist them with project design and implementation. (2) The laboratory component of the course provides students with an opportunity to select a project to be completed in the Winter semester course ELE 800 Design Project. Students search information, design and source components in consultation with the faculty lab coordinators who will supervise their projects in the Winter term.
