Project-oriented laboratory content

Laboratory projects will be organised using this template: (1) Product specifications. (2) Planning, (3) Developing, (4) Testing, (5) Prototyping. A similar well known frame is project CDIO (conceive, design, implement and operate).

Projects include electronic design automation (EDA) tools, circuit simulation and printed circuit board (PCB) design.

Projects include introductory content on specialised subjects such: 

- Design guidelines for EMC compliance: Circuit design for minimum radiation, EMC filters, Circuit partitioning, Grounding, signal integrity,  Screened enclosure and screened lines and cables

- Guidelines for thermal design and cooling

- Power supply, low-power electronics and energy harvesting

- Electrostatic discharge (ESD), protection and handling
