THIRD YEAR PROJECT
ELE3PRO
2016
Credit points: 15
Subject outline
The aim of this unit is to extend and reinforce embedded programming concepts taught in ELE3EMB. Analogue circuit design, schematic capture and circuit board layout are also covered. Students are given an opportunity to demonstrate practical project management skills by keeping a detailed log book which culminates in a small formal report.
