Week Outline

  1. Wednesday: Global Class on System Integration.
  2. Wednesday: Global review (I got called up in the random generator!).

Global Class

On this week's global class, Neil focused on the different aspect of system integration. He started by covering failure nodes and explaining what not to do and why not. Then he explained how to do what we should do. So he covered design considerations, packaging considerations, and testing techniques. He also covered the concept of repairability and product lifecycle.

Assignment

Design and document the system integration for your final project

The documentation of the design process and system integration for my final project is available in full detail on the Documentation section on my Final Project Fabrication page.
