Students will present and/or demonstrate their lab projects in the lab sessions on Wednesday, November 28, from 2:00 - 4:30 PM and Thursday, November 29 from 8:30 - 11:00 AM in Dana 307. The main purpose of the lab project is for you to learn something new about a topic of your choice in the general area of signals and systems.

Written report: Each group is asked to submit a brief written report that describes your project objectives, explains the approach that you used, and summarizes your results. We recommend that you submit your report before final exams, by Tuesday, December 4. However, it is OK if you submit the report by the end of the day on Monday, December 10.

Oral presentation: Please limit your presentation to 10 minutes, with demonstrations and questions included within that time. A suggestion for organizing your presentation is to do the following:

1. Clearly explain the problem that you addressed in your project.
2. Summarize the approach that you used.
3. Show results, demonstration, problems encountered, etc.

Grading criteria:

The lab project will be worth 500 points, which will be approximatley 60% of your lab grade. The 500 points will be distributed and evaluated as follows.

• 100 points for getting the project to work.
• 100 points for correctness and thoroughness of signal and system analysis.
• 100 points for clearly explaining the project in the oral presentation.
• 100 points for clearly explaining the project in the written report.
• 100 points for lab participation and attendance.
