EET 250 - Prototype Development and Documentation

4 Credit(s)

Prerequisite(s): EET 220 and EET 240

Recommended Prerequisite(s): EET 241

Course Description: Emphasizes technical writing and documentation while developing a functioning electronic system. Includes design and construction of a prototype electronic project requiring integration of a microcontroller-based system with digital and analog devices. Projects can include the use of FPGA devices, Embedded platforms (i.e., Arduino, Raspberry Pi, ESP32, IoT devices, etc.). A 3-hour per week open-laboratory includes the application of computer tools in circuit design, evaluation, troubleshooting, and analysis. Some labs and projects can be done remotely. Promotes and supports sustainable and green technologies.

Course Level: Career/Tech Preparatory

Course Learning Outcomes:

CLO#1: Demonstrate prototyping and development skills through design of a working microprocessor-based project involving architecture theory, machine coding, port operation, timing and interfacing.
CLO#2: Demonstrate operation of electronic test equipment including DMMs, mixed signal oscilloscopes, logic probe, DC power supplies, and logic analyzers.
CLO#3: Design, build, test, and demonstrate a student-based project including microcontrollers, hardware, interfacing, software, devices and applications. (ILO: Quantitative Literacy and Reasoning)
CLO#4: Document circuit functions, proper data collection procedures, troubleshooting procedures followed, and explanatory descriptions (verbal and written) that meet laboratory standards.
CLO#5: Demonstrate understanding of safety practices in the lab and work place including personal protection, equipment, and component (ESD) when designing, building, and troubleshooting basic digital circuits.
