Capstone course for seniors in Computer/Electrical Engineering.
- Partnered with two other students to create an electronic product employing an embedded microprocessor. Selected product: UV sensor wearable auréole
- Objective: Design, specify, build, and test an electronic product employing an embedded microprocessor (UV sensor wearable)
- Key requirements:
- Identify key components for product
- Sketch out systems level block diagram of product
- Calculate power budget from selected components
- Select suitable power management system
- Begin design and layout of product PCB
- Project management approach: Weekly scrum with project partners, attending office hours of professors if necessary
- Challenges encountered
- Technical questions and challenges from interacting with entirely new systems
- Lack of direction from professors
→ project management questions and miscommunications
- Outcomes: Specification phase in progress, Product Requirements Document V1 completed. Moving on to design phase–Schematic capture V1 pictured below.
