Week 20’s Assignment

Final Project Requirements

Congratulations, you have reached the point of working on your Final Project. This is your opportunity to demonstrate synthesis of the skills you developed in the previous weeks.

Document a final project masterpiece that integrates the range of units covered, answering:

  • What does it do?
  • Who’s done what beforehand?
  • What did you design?
  • What sources did you use?
  • What materials and components were used?
  • Where did they come from?
  • How much did they cost?
  • What parts and systems were made?
  • What processes were used?
  • What questions were answered?
  • What worked? What didn’t?
  • How was it evaluated?
  • What are the implications?

Prepare a summary slide and a one-minute video showing its conception, construction, and operation.

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 must show individual mastery of the skills and be independently operable.

Present your final project.
