18. Application and Implications

The objective of this week is to plan a final project masterpiece that integrates the range of units covered.

Your project should incorporate:

  • 2D and 3D design

  • Additive and subtractive fabrication processes

  • Electronics design and production

  • Embedded microcontroller interfacing and programming

  • System integration and packaging.

  • Where possible, you should make rather than buy the parts of your project. Projects can be separate or joint, but need to show individual mastery of the skills, and be independently operable.

See Final Project Requirements for a complete list of requirements you must fulfil.

Assignment
