[2023-03-10] Completed Assignment 6 on Abstraction and Modeling: discussing and outlining the system and process models for our project. The team created a graph displaying the volume of hourly traffic from a certain intersection. The team also discussed a timeline for data accumulation for the city of Hoboken.
[2023-03-03] Completed Assignment 5 on Intellectual Properties: discussing whether the product would be a better fit for a Trademark, Copyright, and/or a Patent. The team also researched and recorded any relevant copyrights or trademarks pertaining to the online databases we are using and documented as was necessary.
[2023-02-25] Completed Assignment 4 on creating a Solution Development: designing a list of tasks to solve the problem; using our knowledge of the desired solution state to inform our earlier decisions along the problem-solving path; specifying the format of the final deliverables for this project, as well as their utility; and accounting for multiple potential project paths, as well as the circumstances that would lead to us choosing one path over another.
"Traffic and Tribulations: How Hoboken Traffic Laws Have Impacted Road Safety"--Solution Development
[2023-02-18] Completed Assignment 3 on creating a Problem Formulation: generating the problem statement for our project; discussing techniques, diagrams, and methods on the best way to address our project topic; and performing Kepner-Tregoe situation and problem analysis.
"Traffic and Tribulations: How Hoboken Traffic Laws Have Impacted Road Safety"--Problem Formulation
[2023-02-11] Completed Assignment 2 on completing a Needs Assessment describing the project we wish to undertake, the data we will be examining, the methods we will use to implement our project, the desired outcome of this project, and any associated costs for the project.
"Traffic and Tribulations: How Hoboken Traffic Laws Have Impacted Road Safety"--Needs Assessment
[2023-01-30] Completed Assignment 1 on creating a Google Site for CPE/EE 322 that includes Progress Reports, coursework information, and other useful resources.
[2023-01-25] Completed Assignment 0 on creating a GitHub repository and creating and stylizing a README.md file using Markdown.

Course Learning Outcomes
Course Learning Outcomes
Program Outcome 1: (Complex Problem Solving)
1.3 (Engineering foundations) Students will be able to use block diagrams and a hierarchical representation of the project and use detailed circuit diagrams and interconnected component diagrams with technical specifications on inputs, outputs, and control to describe the detailed operation of components in the project.
Assignment 11.1
Program Outcome 2: (Design)
2.1 (Design assessment) Students will be able to design a system or process with considerations of economic, environmental, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability constraints.
Assignment 6
2.2 (Technical design) Students will be able to explore the design space of performance, features, and cost to determine the cost (fixed and operating) of a given project "product."
Assignment 10
2.3 (Technical design) Students will be able to adjust the overall design of a project by changing or adding a component, developing a representation of the initial understanding of the project design and evolving it to a detailed representation that establishes a "design, test, and build" process based on inputs, outputs, and variables defined by successive levels (hierarchical) of components and subsystems.
Assignment 4
2.4 (Design assessment) Students will be able to critically evaluate the impact of cost, features, and performance on the useful functionality of a project "product" from the perspective of a non-technical customer and will understand the importance of critically challenging his/her design and use assumptions to ensure exploration of alternative designs and features from the perspective of a final customer product.
Assignment 3
2.5 (Technical design) Students will be able to develop the design for a project using a hierarchical approach (top-down) and to apply successive refinement to their design, incorporating new information and insights into your design while adjusting the overall design for necessary changes.
Assignment 7
2.6 (Design assessment) Students will be able to understand and apply the principles of concurrent design in the breakdown of tasks and project plans and will understand and apply Gantt chart and PERT/CPM (either or both) in the creation of a breakdown of tasks and planning the activities to complete the project.
Assignment 11.2
Program Outcome 3: (Communications)
3.1 (Communication) Students will be able to write technical reports with sufficient clarity and accuracy.
Assignment 1
Program Outcome 4: (Ethical and Professional Conduct)
4.1 (Social issues) Students will be able to explore the non-technical space of social requirements, with a particular concern for the social impacts (both favorable and unfavorable) of their project "product."
Assignment 8.3
Assignment 9.3
4.2 (Ethics and morals) Students will be able to understand the associated ethical issues.
Assignment 8.1
Assignment 9.1
4.3 (Professionalism) Students will be able to understand the associated professional responsibilities.
Assignment 8.2
Assignment 9.2
Program Outcome 5: (Teaming and Leadership)
5.1 (Teamwork) Students will be prepared to effectively participate in and manage a multidisciplinary design team.
Assignment 11.3
5.2 (Teamwork) Students will participate in a modest-sized team to develop initial ideas into a full project, with the final objectives of the team evolving from the collaboration rather than being defined a-priori.
Assignment 2
Program Outcome 7: (Ability to Learn)
1.1 (Tools) Students will be familiar with the use of standard search engines and keywords for an undirected search for information relevant to a specific project, familiar with the use of directed searches, starting from a known-good site and searching for information at that site relevant to a specific project and familiar with resources for compression/decompression of information.
Assignment 5
1.2 (Tools) Students will be able to efficiently locate information describing and assessing software tools for exploring the mathematical algorithms and techniques that are embedded in a student project.
