EE 4100 - Embedded System Fabrication

2 lecture hours 2 lab hours 3 credits
Course Description
This course focuses on practical aspects of turning a laboratory prototype into a reliable production prototype. Lecture topics will follow a microprocessor-based embedded system design through the addition of support circuitry, production component selection, printed circuit board layout, and 3D design and printing of enclosures. Lab exercises will put these topics into practice as students will complete the design activities and assemble prototypes. (prereq: junior standing in CE or EE)
Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
  • Identify support circuitry necessary for simple embedded systems
  • Describe criteria for component selection
  • Explain considerations for printed circuit board layout
  • Execute a printed circuit board layout, fabrication, and assembly  
  • Design an enclosure for an embedded system in 3D modeling software and utilize rapid prototyping to create enclosure

Prerequisites by Topic
  • Basic embedded system design and programming
  • Basic circuit elements
  • Circuit analysis techniques

Course Topics
  • None
