CSE 453LEC - Hardware/Software Integrated Systems Design 2

Software designs produced in the prerequisite CSE 450 Hardware/Software Integrated Systems Design I  course are carried here to a complete hardware realization. Bringing skills learned from previous hardware and software-oriented courses, students form multidisciplinary workgroups and are given tools, parts, goals, and constraints, all of which define the integrated design setting. These workgroups identify, formulate, and solve the hardware and software problems posed by their project, and defend their realization concepts at key intervals during the project build-out. Projects are tested, and a report analyzing the level of satisfaction of design and performance specifications submitted. Each group prepares a ‘rollout’ presentation, which includes a demonstration of their project in operation. This is a required course for CEN majors.
