Phy120B Final Projects Demo 2:00pm Friday 10-Dec-2010 3574 Mayer HallHall
This course involves practicums on data acquisition and control using microprocessors for the first 5 weeks; and then students spend the next 5 weeks in teams of ~2 developing and building a project of their choice.
The theme might be described as "just go for it", with the only requirement being that the project detect something in the real world, process the information, and control something in the real world. About half the projects use embedded PIC microprocessors; some use PC-scale computers, some are not computer-based.
The Earl Dolnick Best Project Award(s) are decidedd by Student vote.
