Project Background and Need:

We are a tech company with a fully operational prototyping lab looking to track data and show real time analytics. We work out of a co-working space that has allowed us flexibility in the past to set up sensors to monitor 'door stats' on how many people enter the building each day. We would like to add additional sensors to our specific office with the hopes of gathering and displaying data of how many people come into the lab and use the conference room.

Problem Description/requirements (List of high-level functionality you expect to see in the end product):

For this problem we are looking to create a framework and infrastructure to manage smart spaces. We are hoping to transform our data lab into a living lab. We would like the team to create 3 hardware sensors and 3 use case scenarios to use across lab monitoring. The project will require a hardware and front end software. This is a project that is open ended and we are encouraging the students to think out side the box with their creativity.

Required Skills / Desired Competencies (in order of importance):

• Embedded hardware and programming

• Sensor interface and programming

• Analog circuit design

• Wireless communications

• PCB design and layout

• Power electronics and systems

How often and how would you be available to meet/chat with the team (Zoom, Hangout, Skype, Phone)?

Weekly via Google Meet.

Will the students be required to sign any of the following before they start with the project? NDA / CDA / IP assignment / IP protection form

No.
