Project Objective

The objective of this project is to plan a proper and hierarchy of design processwhich includes: the general product definition, specifications and requirements,functional block diagrams, definition of specification of functional blocks for circuitlevel synthesis and implementation, system integration, simulation or modeling,testing and verification.

Project Outcomes

After completing the project, the students should be able to:(i) Design the project with the consideration for a specific loading.(ii) Present the findings analytically both in writing and oral formats.

Note: Students will be assessed in accordance with the (i) Programme Learning Outcome

10 (PLO 10), i.e. committed to Design, and (ii) Programme Learning Outcome 12 (PLO12), i.e. committed to Environment & Sustainability. Refer to the given Assessment

Rubric Matrix.

General Requirements

(i) Write a technical report to present your project outcomes.(ii) Create a presentation video clip to demonstrate your group presentation. The

allowed video file formats are: .mpg, .wmv, or .avi only.(iii) Submit the technical report and the presentation video clip (CD) latest by 7

June 2015, before 3.30pm.

Rules of Project Work

Plagiarism:(i) It is not allowed to utilise any parameter value that has been used by other

student.(ii) It is not allowed to copy any drawing (even parts) developed by other student.(iii) It is not allowed to copy any part of the technical article prepared by other

student.(iv) However, it is encouraged to have discussion on the tasks given with other

students.
