Course Overview • Flexible – will cover topics as needed • Scheduling needs to be flexible • Project course (project = course)
Next steps? Lecture 1 • E-mail distribution list • Reference/useful information to be posted • Review schedule – probably going to need more than the time listed • First priority is to choose a project (due next Tuesday) • Drives choice of technology • Helps me choose supplemental material • Will need to sign NDAs for MOSIS • Establish which computer going to use • Get set-up with an account on our server
