ELEC 301 Signals and Systems
Group Project Info
An open ended investigation into an application area of signals
and systems in gangs of 3-4 members.
Deliverables:
-
A written report containing the theoretical background,
methods employed, practical application results, plus a breakdown of
each gang member's role. The report must be written in HTML and be
available on the WWW. Projects will be archived for posterity.
Length: equivalent of 10-15 pages. (70% of grade)
-
A poster presentation on your project. (30% of grade)
-
Grading will be based on the results of the work (that is, ``did it
work?''), the degree of innovation, and the quality of the written
report and poster presentation.
Milestones:
-
Monday 15 November: Set up gang (3-4 members);
choose topic and gang name
Email Justin with this info
-
Exam week: Written reports due; poster session
Project Suggestions
(with volunteer supervisors):
- Analyze, design, and implement 1-d analog filters (Michael Dye)
