The Engineering Design Project-II (UTA024) is also known as “Buggy project” due to its execution in RoboCar and this course is designed for the students of second year students of all stream of engineering.  This course is jointly executed by electronics and computer engineering departments.  This course is basically based on the basic fundamentals concepts of electronics such as basic electronic devices, circuit-design and transmitter and receiver and also includes the Arduino programming.  It also introduces the concepts of sensor such as Infra-Red (IR) and Ultrasonic. The students need to learn those concepts theoretically and implement practically in both electronics and computer labs.

In electronics section, students need to learn about capacitor, diode, transistor etc. to design their own transmitter and receiver circuit in pre-existing software such as Eagle and also fabricated in the PCB. 

In computer section, students need to learn about fundamental Arduino programming (or XCTU) to perform several basic experiments.  They have to program the Robocar (Buggy) in such a way to follow the line following on the designed track using IR, Ultra sonic sensors through wireless Zig-Bee communication.  This course also includes three different levels of challenges which are defined as Bronze, Silver and Gold.  All students need to perform any of the challenges for their final evaluation.

•  Pre-requisites: The students needs the knowledge about:

1. Basic programming skills preferably in C-languages

2. Basic knowledge of hardware circuits and logic gates.

3. Aptitude for innovation and design.

• Mention groups (if any):

The groups of 3-4 students are made in each branch to promote the inter and intra team work and healthy completion.

HIGHLIGHTS

• Demonstration of innovation and design concepts.

• Embedding intelligent program as combination hardware and software in Robotic buggy.

• Exploitation of various types of sensor features to enhance the buggy performance.

• To fulfil the challenges corresponding to various paths and hurdles.
