Advanced Engineering Calculator

This team will work on developing a scientific calculator from scratch that will enhance the efficiency of how engineering students interact with calculators.

Advisor:

Description:

On numerous occasions, engineering students and professionals find themselves struggling between various tables, charts and calculators. We want to design a ubiquitous calculator that brings all those functionalities into one easy to use product. Students will learn to integrate hardware (keys, screens, microcontroller) with software. They will also get a chance to be involved in designing, prototyping and manufacturing of a new product. Students can choose to work in:

1.   Software design – designing user interface

2.   Hardware assembly – PCB design based on different hardware used

3.   Research – finding and programming different tables, charts used in various engineering disciplines

Relevant Technologies:

Graphical User Interface, Printed Circuit Board Design and Machine Design

Prerequisites:

Depends on the choice of area the student decides to work on. Courses such as ECE 264, ECE 362 and ECE 364 will be very useful.

Meeting Times:

Fall 2021 - TBA
