This course provides a team design experience in electrical engineering that integrates math, science, and engineering into a comprehensive system. The system design encompasses both analog and digital electronics, and may also include sub-systems. Projects are open-ended and must result in a product that performs within pre-determined or negotiated constraints. The system design problem draws from a variety of science and engineering experiences within the curriculum and requires significant cadet creativity and decision-making. Classroom instruction addresses design methodologies and system components. Course requirements include periodic in-progress reviews, written and oral reports, and completion of the iterative design, build, and test cycle for a functional system. Factors such as feasibility, reliability, and economics must be addressed. (Note: dropped effective with the new curriculum for the Clas of 2005)
