Are you looking for teams of four senior electrical and/or computer engineering students to work together to solve an open-ended design problem for your company? We have eager 4th year students from University of Saskatchewan who are ready to work on both the theoretical and implementation aspects of an electrical/computer engineering design problem. Each team is assigned an experienced support engineer or faculty member to help guide the design process.

This is a two-term design course.

• In the first term (Sept-Dec), students largely work on problem and scope definition, requirements analysis, brainstorming and evaluation of alternatives, and high-level system design.
• The second term (Jan - Apr) mostly focuses on detailed design, implementation, and testing of the chosen solution.

If feasible, groups often construct prototypes to evaluate and demonstrate their designs. Limited funding is provided by the university to support this activity.

The exact nature and scope of the project will depend on your company's needs. Design groups may provide the company with (not all elements below will apply to all projects):

• Design schematics
• Source code
• Printed circuit board layouts
• Design calculations and technical analysis
• Cost analysis
• Bill of materials
• Test plan and test results
• Interim and final reports

You will have the opportunity to discuss the scope of the deliverables with the students at the outset of the project.
