1. Project Plan, Task Checklist, EstimatesProject Prototyping • Objectives • Introduction of Project Checklist Estimate Spreadsheet • Compile Detailed Project Plan, Estimates, Gantt Chart • Introduction to Prototyping Techniques • Determination of Best Prototype Strategy • Introduction to Power Supply Design Resources • 4 Major Deliverables • Team & Individual: Overall Project Plan (due for P2) • Team: Prototype Plan • Individual: Schematic and Layout of Example: Thermal Sensor Circuit • Team: Schematic and Layout of Prototype PCB’s (due for P2)

2. Excel Task Estimation Tool • Project Level Task Estimation Sheet • Manhours Totalize at bottom of Sheet • Material $ Totalize at bottom of Sheet • Data Is Entered into Beige Shaded Blocks Only ! • Start/End Date should be realistic and be dependent on other tasks • Use Week.Day Numbering (ie. Class Week #, Monday=1, Sunday=7) • Example: 4.4 = 4th class week, Thursday • Customize for your own use by • Number of Design Blocks • Cut/Paste the Detailed Design Section for Each Block Owner • Use as Project Plan for Tracking Team Members to Weekly Deliverables

12. Basic Electronic Assembly and Test • Deliverables – Individual: Develop the schematic and layout files for the Example Thermal Sensor Circuit to exactly match the layout shown. The PCB design should encompass the following requirements • Dimensions of 1.5” x 2.2” • 2 Layers (double sided) • Through Hole + 1 SMT Part • Placements as Shown for all parts • 25 mil power & ground traces, 10 mil signal traces • 56 mil power & ground input pads with silkscreen Labels • 56 mil output signal pads You may use any eCAD Software Package ExpressPCB is suggested due to simplicity and tutorials

13. Example: Temp Sensor Circuit • 3 ICs: LM35 SO8, OP07 Dip 8 • 6 Capacitors: Ceramic Monolithic Axial • 3 Resistors: 0.125W Axial 10 Total Nodes
