Lab Demos

You must demo each project to your TA or instructor. Prior to demonstration, please have ready a one page design document as described below. You will not be able to demo the lab until this document is completed and looked over by your TA. For the demos each team member must be prepared to answer questions pertaining to the project development, functionality of the project, and each members individual contribution. Demos will take place during the assigned lab sections.

Design Document Specifications

• Name of all group members
• Summary of project
• Contribution of each individual group member

Labs and Projects

Laboratories are scheduled in the EEB 137 electronics laboratory. Every student should gain experience with the physical performance of a lab: building circuits, taking measurements, etc. Labs should be done as a group, with all members of the group present. Group roles should rotate - circuit assembler, meter reader, results analysis. Each group should submit one lab report. Lab report template at bottom of page. Lab reports are due by start of section a week after the demo date of the lab.

Point distribution will vary with the assignment, and each weekly project must include signed statement of individual contribution

Documentation Requirements

• All source code zipped and submitted to Dropbox
• Verilog Comments need to include author name and module description
• Testbenches need to be commented with what is being tested
• Timing Diagrams for verilog modules
  • Modelsim or GTKwave
• State Diagrams
• Data and Control Flow Diagrams
• Block Diagrams
• Schematics and Logic Diagrams when appropriate

Helpful Resources

• Signal Tap Demo
• Quartus Demo

Suggested Final Project Report Outline (Futures Track Only)

• Project Concept / Goal
• Background needed to understand the project
• Risk encountered / overcome / not able to be solved
• Detailed description of implementation
• Results / System Performance
• Future work
• Appendix: All code and relevant documents

Please also include code and project files in an additional zip file.

Note that existing track groups should follow the same lab report template that we've been using
