  1. Electrical Engineering Capstone Courses EE-4BI6 Electrical and Biomedical Engineering  Dr. Hubert deBruin EE-4OI6 Electrical and Computer Engineering  Dr. Mohamed Bakr  Dr. Steve Hranilovic

  2. Objectives of Courses • Give students experience in organizing and working as a team • Give students an opportunity to select and develop their own project • Give students an opportunity to utilize skills and knowledge developed in prior courses • Give students an opportunity to learn and utilize new technologies required for their project (e.g. wireless interfaces)

  3. Guiding Design Principles • Treat project as an industrial design (time and money constraints) • Always keep in mind the problem (or need) you are solving • In designing your product keep in mind feasibility, sustainability, and safety

  4. Requirements from Students • Form your team andselect and research a problem or need which can be addressed by your design. • Biomeds have teams of 2 or 3. Electrical and computer science have teams of 4. • Meet regularly with course instructor or faculty member involved in the project (optional) to present progress and problem solve

  5. Design Platforms and Technologies Supplied by Department • Biomedical undergraduate lab ITB 142, 156 • Oscilloscopes, function generators, powered breadboards and analog design boards (EE 4BD4) • National Instruments laboratory computer interfaces and Labview virtual instrumentation software • General electronic parts (op amps, instrumentation amps, resistors, capacitors, electrodes and leads)

  6. Timelines and Credit: 4BI6 Fall Semester • Project Proposal: 40% • Group progress presentation : 60% Winter Semester • Presentation and demonstration: 30% • Final Report: 70%

  7. Timelines and Credit: 4OI6 Fall Semester • Proposal (presentation and report): 10% • Progress Demonstration/Presentation (1): 20% Winter Semester • Progress Demonstration/Presentation (2): 20% • Final Project (report/presentation/demo): 40% • Meeting Milestones: 10%

  8. Role of Instructor • Determine feasibility of project and help develop proposal • Suggest projects and approaches when required • Give continuous advice and evaluations of progress • Provide detailed technical input when appropriate • Act as mentor

  9. In Industry Who Designs Products? • Marketing (assess customer needs, target price, promote) • Design (technical aspects) • Manufacturing (tooling up, estimate costs)

  10. Appeal to Engineers • Creativity • Satisfying Societal or Individual Needs • Team Diversity • Team Spirit • Financial Opportunities

  11. Proposal Format 1) Objectives 2) Literature Search 3) Proposal details 4) Sustainability Analysis 5) Tasks, Scheduling, and Implementation 6) Materials and Budget – including alternate sources 7) Assumptions/Risks – with regards to materials 8) Deliverables 9) References

  12. Recent Addition (2010): Sustainability Analysis 4OI6: Give a brief analysis of the social, economic and environmental factors affecting your design. Consider the impact of your design if it were implemented on a large scale. 4BI6: Biomedical systems are often notorious for being ‘un-environmental’. Therefore all projects must contain some aspect of sustainability. For example your device might contain a solar power source. Furthermore, the appropriate tools and metrics available to evaluate the environmental impact of the project must be used and discussed.

  13. Capstone Presentation Day: - early April ~ 50 projects in 2012-13
