EE Systems Design II

Prof. Revzen was one of the initial creators and developers of the “Electrical Engineering Systems Design II” class EECS300, the first in several new classes that add hands on experience, design, and project management to the ECE curriculum. Buildint upon the EECS200 class, in EECS300 students apply more technical knowledge which they obtain in 200 and 300 level classes, and do a more open-ended project than in EECS200.

EECS 300 is a design-oriented course. Students will work with embedded systems, signal processing, analog and digital sensors, power systems, wireless communication, and more as part of their design project.

The purpose of this course is to develop design skills, apply and deepen the knowledge gained in core EECS courses such as circuits, electromagnetics, and programming classes, and allow for the exploration of more advanced topics as part of a design project with real world relevance.

In the most recent iterations (taught by other faculty), the EECS300 design project is focused on applying the growing world of “Internet of Things” technologies to create solutions that help enhance campus safety for students, faculty, and staff in COVID-19 pandemic times. The project involves tracking the number of people entering and exiting a building, classroom, or open study areas. All design goals and specifications for the course project are driven by realistic project needs.
