Description:

Prerequisites: Engineering, Math, and Physics Foundation

Through a significant project experience, students will integrate analysis, qualitative design, quantitative optimization, experiments, and simulations to improve their abilities to engineer real systems. This course will be offered in two sections, each focusing on a particular type of engineering system. This section (i.e., Section 03) will focus on electronic systems through the design of a low-speed universal serial bus (USB) peripheral.
