ECGR2252 (UNCC)/ECE222(WCU) “ Electrical Engineering Design I” UNC Charlotte Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering And Joint B.S.E.E Program with Western Carolina University Spring 2010 – Required for B.S.E.E, Elective for B.S.Cp.E Students ECGR 2252. Electrical Engineering Design I. (2) (O) Prerequisites: ECGR 2111 and ECGR 2155 or equivalents. Corequisites: ECGR 2112 and ECGR 2181 or equivalents. Introduction to the electrical engineering design process including teamwork, design specifications, conceptual design, detailed design, design integration, cost estimation and market considerations. Product design projects are completed and laboratory prototypes are developed and tested by design teams. Oral presentations and written technical reports on the design projects are required. Textbook: Ralph Ford & Chris Coulston, “Design for Electrical and Computer Engineers: Theory, Concepts, and Practice”, McGraw-Hill, 2008. ISBN 978-0-07-338035-3. References: Class notes, worldwide web and library holdings, manufacturers’ datasheets and application notes, U.S. Patent and Trademark Office website. Course Learning Outcomes: The objectives of this course are to help students improve i) their ability to design a product to meet end-user needs, ii) their ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering to engineering design calculations, iii) their oral and written communication skills, iv) their teamwork skills, v) their knowledge of the IEEE Code of Ethics, and vi) their ability to use modern CAD and hardware tools necessary in the practice of engineering design. Class and Laboratory Schedule: The lecture part of this class meets two times a week for 50 minutes each time. UNCC students are expected to use the design lab in WH-231 which is accessible 24/7, as well as WH-140 during selected lecture periods, to complete, prototype, and test their design projects. Class Topics: - Design process (Chapter 1). - Design teams (Chapter 9, Problem 1.8). - Engineering projects (Chapter 2). - Need identification and marketing requirements (Chapter 2 and Appendix B). - Engineering requirements and requirements specification (Chapter 3). - Analog/digital design simulation using OrCAD/PSpice (hands-on). - Oral presentations (Chapter 12). - Student presentations on literature search & design spec's. - Conceptual designs & conceptual design evaluation (class notes & Appendix B). - General-purpose design components such as timers, comparators, power switches, voltage & current amplifiers, and frequency-to-voltage converters (class notes). - Datasheet analysis (world-wide web). - Student presentations on conceptual designs & conceptual design selection. - Ad hoc topics to be determined from selected conceptual designs (class notes). - Ethical and Legal Issues (Chapter 11). - Design prototyping and testing (lab and classroom). - Student presentations on detailed design and project demonstration. Course Contribution to Curriculum’s Professional Component: This course contributes to the design component of the B.S.E.E curriculum and prepares the students for the capstone senior design courses via hands-on design projects that incorporate market-specific constraints.Program Outcomes: This course contributes to the development of competencies defined in Program Outcomes (a), (c), (d), (f), (g), and (k). Computer Usage: OrCAD Capture/PSpice, word processing, spreadsheet, MS Visio, search engines. Students’ Deadlines: There will be one test and nine (9) assignments with the following deadlines: Assignments and Exam Due Date Format Requirements specifications (main proj) March 2 & 4, 2010 (in class) Oral presentation Conceptual designs & conceptual design selection (main proj) April 13 & 15, 2010 (in class) Oral presentation Mini-projects 1, 2 ,3, 4, 5 Will be announced Written Test April 27, 2010 Written, in-class (Open textbook only) Main project detailed design & demo May 11, 2010 11:00-1:30 Oral presentation Final comprehensive report May 11, 2010 11:00-1:30 Written report Grading: There will be five (5) mini-projects, one (1) main design project, and one (1) in-class test. The main project and four (4) of the mini-projects are team assignments. The other mini-project and the test are individual assignments. Reports on team assignments must be submitted by the team leader who is authorized to judge, and record on the first page of the report, the percent effort of each team member to the team assignment being submitted. Your main project must be designed by your team. You are not allowed to copy existing designs but you are allowed to make significant improvements to an existing design and call it your own. The weight of each item in determining the final grade is as follows: Item % of Grade Assigned to Assigned by Class participation + oral presentations 5% + 5% Individual Instructor Four team mini-projects 40% Team / Individual Instructor & Team Leaders One individual mini-project 10% Individual Instructor In-class Test 20% Individual Instructor Main design project + final report 20% Team / Individual Instructor & Team Leaders Team Organization: Each team must select a team leader, logbook recorder, an optimist, a pessimist, and an analyst by January 28, 2010. Team leaders are to judge team members’ efforts to team projects and decide the percentage of each project grade to be assigned to each individual team member. Follow-up Courses: This course is a pre-requisite for ECGR 3157 “Electrical Engineering Design II”.
