System Projects: Several electronic system projects will be performed during the semester. A preliminary
design review and a critical design review will be performed. An engineering notebook will be kept documenting
the design process. Projects will be taken from the design stage to the implementation stage.
Mock Interviews: Students will be required to do a mock interview during the Industrial Advisory Committee
meeting. Students will be required to prepare a resume documenting their current qualifications.
Industry Tour: Tours of different industry sites will be performed during the semester. Students will be
required to write a memo documenting their experience.
Certifications: Several certification labs will be performed during the semester. Students will be required to
perform certain experiments demonstrating their competency in different electronic areas.
