1 Fall 2015 Semester Lecture 2 Getting Started
ECE 396 – Senior Design I Fall 2015 Semester Lecture 2 Getting Started

2 Course information Make sure you have the textbook
Attendance will be taken Regularly check and webpage Send s domain

3 Getting Started Form design team Determine project topic
Three members (min=2, max=4) Determine project topic Brainstorm project ideas Find faculty advisor Faculty research interests ( Laboratory notebook

4 Getting Started – cont. Don’t have a design team?
me your interests Looking for member(s) for your team? me your project topic Do this as soon as possible!

5 Course website Course information, calendar
Course information, calendar Forms, assignments, presentations ECE News, parts, other topics

6 Engineering Use of mathematics and natural sciences to solve practical problems for the benefit of mankind Practical problems have constraints Economic, safety, environmental, etc. Maintenance, manufacturability Engineering vs. technologist Engineering emphasizes problem-solving

7 What does an engineer do?
Eat donuts and drink coffee  Customer (needs solution to problem) Engineer (the problem solver) Manufacturer (implements solution)

8 Role of an Engineer Provide a solution to a practical problem with real-world constraints Usually works in multiple disciplines Electrical, mechanical, industrial Economics, high-volume manufacturing Must consider component variations

9 Example problem Power supply 12V system voltage has wide variation
Provide 5V +/- 2% to microcontroller from a 12V system (automotive) 12V system voltage has wide variation Cold-start (6V), max charging (18V) How do we do this? Voltage divider??
