This unit extends the level of complexity of electronic design by integrating and applying core knowledge in electrical and computer systems engineering. You will use linear and non-linear electronics, computer engineering and communications engineering to tackle a group project, apply project management skills and extend your experience of working in groups. The project will extend the design processes introduced in the earlier units to a larger, more complex and less constrained problem that integrates multiple sub-disciplines of your course. The project will be complemented by lectures in project management, including working with teams, project management tools and techniques, and written and verbal communication. Frameworks for analysing the life cycles of systems are introduced. Tools and techniques to aid decision-making are provided.
