Comprehensive Approach to CmpE Projects: Design, Implementation, and Testing

This project scope covers all aspects of CmpE projects, including requirements, standards, trade-offs, and reporting. It emphasizes incorporation of various considerations like economic, environmental, and ethical aspects. The process involves application analysis, market research, cost estimation, sales volume projection, and support planning. Additionally, it outlines the design process steps and strategies for acquiring parts. Group formation guidelines and potential pitfalls are discussed, focusing on effective teamwork and individual contributions. The project specifically pertains to computer engineering projects, detailing aspects like processors and interfaces.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Project Scope • Requirements: specification, design, implementation, and testing • “incorporate engineering standards and realistic constraints that include most of the following considerations: economic, environmental, sustainability, manufacturability, ethical, health and safety, social, and political.” • CmpE Projects must include both hardware and software components and trade-offs • Reporting: formal written project proposals, progress reports, final reports, and oral presentations Project Scope Bonnie Heck/Jay Schlag

  2. Considerations • Application • What are you doing and why is it novel and necessary? • Market • Who is the customer? • Cost • What is the design cost estimate plus parts and manufacturing costs? • Sales Volume • How many would you sell per year? Will it trail off after one year? • Support • How will you support the customer? Project Scope Bonnie Heck/Jay Schlag

  3. How to Get Parts • Borrow Parts • Edgar Jones and James Steinberg, VL C352 – C329, have a collection from previous semesters (act quickly) • Buy Parts • Student Funds – you buy it, you own it • GT Funds – each group gets a budget of $100 per person in the group, GT owns it (order from Edgar Jones or James Steinberg) • Company loan or gift Project Scope Bonnie Heck/Jay Schlag

  4. Design Process • Determine application • Write specification • Hardware block diagram • Software block diagram • Determine/order parts • Test parts of the project • Integrate all parts together Project Scope Bonnie Heck/Jay Schlag

  5. Group Formation • Responsibilities Big picture and leadership, technical design, hardware, software, testing, integration, cost analysis, reporting • Group Pitfalls • “My Way or the Highway” • “You do the work, I’ll take the credit” • Group Intelligence (more than the sum) • Each person contributes equally and all suggestions are considered seriously Project Scope Bonnie Heck/Jay Schlag

  6. Computer Engineering Projects • Processor • Number, Type, Speed, Control, Instruction Set, Development System, Debugging, Assembler/Compiler • Interfaces • Number, type, compatibility, capabilities, current/voltage levels, control Project Scope Bonnie Heck/Jay Schlag
