Electronics Projects

Introduction to Electronics 110 Final Project

For the remainder of this course your class time will be spent working on a final project. Any regular course assignments cannot completed during class time but can be worked on before school, at noon or after school. Please schedule times with me for doing extra work, to make sure there are no conflicts and that I'll be here.

Each person must turn in the written report for evaluation. The practical component, Part 2 can be completed with a partner. I may be incorporating a partner evaluation as part of the final project mark.

Your final project of the year will involve completing a three part Electronics project. You must have an accompanying stapled, lab write-up. Diagrams in pencil and write-up in pen or use a computer program (MSWord, MSPowerpoint, etc.)

• Part one will be a preparatory part of the final project and will consist of a parts list and a schematic diagram.

• Part two will be a demonstration of the components assembled on a proto board functioning 100% properly. It must work!

• Part three will be an analysis, journal and a brief explanation of the projects use (250 words or more)

• Handing it in: Either share it with Todd.Swim@nbed.nb.ca on OneDrive or hand it in as a printed copy or if you did it by hand, just pass it in.

• For electronic copies; save your file as "Final Electronics 2021"

This project takes the place of an exam but should be treated with the same importance as an exam. The project is valued at 20% of your course mark and must be completed in order to receive credit in this course. It is valued at 90 marks.

Make sure you let me know which project option and what the topic or your project will be about by the end of January 12^th,or 13^th for teacher approval!

Each project will be assessed on the following:

Part 1

• Time on task/Work Ethic ...................................................................... /10

• Title Page (include an electronic graphic) ............................................... /5

• Schematic (at least half of a page) ......................................................... /25

  • Parts labeled eg. R1, R3, C1, LED2, etc.

  • Components and their values

  • proper connections

  • proper polarity is observed

  • Clarity

Part 2

• • Practical Component (demonstration of assembled components) .......... /20

  • Lab ethics (lab use, clean-up, etc.)

  • Time on task/Work Ethic

  • Component use

  • Functionality

Part 3

• Write-up/Journal (250 words) ......................................................................... /30

  • Clarity

  • Content

  • Research (fully explain all component use)

  • Analysis

  • Comprehensive with summary and conclusion

• Total .................................................................................................. /90

Project Specifications:

• The project is due no later than January 20^th, 2021 All regular course work should be wrapped no later than January 12^th,or 13^th, 2021. The last day that regular course work can be worked on during class time is January 12^th,or 13^th, 2021.

• I will be using class time to assess the final project from January 13^th to January 20^th, 2021. All regular course work must be completed in the morning before school, at noon, or after school. Make sure you arrange a time with your class teacher to ensure availability of the computer lab.

Make sure you remain seated in your workstation. I will be circulating around marking projects. I do the bulk of my marking during class time while you are working on your final project and from my computer. You should not be getting help from other students. I will be heavily deducting marks from projects if you are either helping or receiving help from others. You may use your course website and it should be very quiet. You can use headphones at your workstation as long as they are plugged in to your computer and no other devices.

I am looking for productive uses of the time provided, not shortcuts! Time on task is an integral component of your final project and will affect your final project marking. Make sure you manage your time well! This is not a race! I am looking for quality work!

Listed below are some examples of projects that we can use from the folder provided. Make sure for Option 2 and 3 you leave yourself enough time for project completion. Students who choose Option 2 or Option 3 provide their own materials for their final project.
