Implement complex techniques in constructing a specified complex electronic and embedded system
You need to build a real electronic system that combines circuits, software, and testing—like a robot controller, environmental sensor network, or traffic system. You'll design PCB layouts using CAD software, solder components onto circuit boards, write embedded software to make it work, and test everything to ensure it meets the specifications you've agreed on with your teacher.
You implement the complex techniques by building a working circuit and software system that meets your specifications, using PCB design, soldering, coding, and basic testing.
You skilfully implement these techniques by constructing reliable circuits with improved track layout and neat soldering, writing clear and well-annotated software, and demonstrating good analysis of signal and data parameters.
You efficiently implement these techniques with substantially improved PCB design and soldering quality, writing well-structured and clearly documented software, and effectively managing all signal and data parameters to optimise system performance.
