Dec09-11 Embedded Systems Design Though Curriculum Jacqueline Bannister Luke Harvey Jacob Holen Jordan Petersen

System Design - Requirements Projects must effectively integrate knowledge expected of students for that given year The courses will define checkpoints and milestones for students while still allowing for a design experience The proposed modules must engage student interest Should accommodate for various levels of skill sets and learning styles Should demonstrate area of embedded systems using robotics application 2

Concept Sketch 3 Knowledge learned during the Freshman and Sophomore years is used as input to the First Term course (CprE 286X) Knowledge learned from the Junior, Sophomore and Freshmen years as well as the CprE 286X course is used as input to the second term course (CprE 386X)

Dry-Erase Bot Competition 4 Goal: Autonomously color more squares than opponent in time limit Requirements & Restrictions: – Avoid obstacles, boundary and enemy robot – Robot design will be each team’s choice using given supplies – Limited battery supply, forcing efficient design implementation – Robots start outside course, therefore must locate entrance to course

D-Bomb Robot Competition Goal: Autonomously find and disarm a single “Bomb” object in a room filled with various obstacles Requirements: – Multiple “dummy bombs” in room, must deactivate only the armed bomb – Bomb must be deactivated in under a certain amount of time – Avoid obstacles and boundaries, layout of room is not known – Must return to starting location after bomb is deactivated 5
