EE400D DOCUMENTATION INSTRUCTIONAL SERIES CRITICAL DESIGN REVIEW

The purpose of the PDR is to present the “requirements” and conceptual design of your project. The purpose of the CDR is to present the “design” of your project. The next phase of the project should be implementation of this design, not further design.

CRITICAL DESIGN REVIEW GUIDELINES Power Point Presentation / submit to Beachboard 40 minute maximum duration Each person in the group should present their own work. Be familiar with the material, do not reed it from the overhead or from a sheet of paper Speak clearly, with authority, and eloquently Practice the presentation to ensure all topics are covered in the time allotted.
