Student goals and capabilities

This course is designed for second-year computer engineering technology diploma program students. Students will apply knowledge they gained in previous semesters. They will conceive and design an original project that incorporates hardware and software. They will research alternative designs, select appropriate strategies, and defend their design choices in a final presentation. They will manage the project scheduling and costs to meet broad goals with minimal direction. They will design, construct, and test a working prototype; including, a printed circuit board to illustrate the soundness of their design choices.
