EECS 373 project hand-in directions

Winter '04

You are to handin things during your demo:

A Short paper describing what you did. (Note, you can turn in most of this paper on Thursday if you wish.)
A CD or floppy with all of your project work on it.

Further, you are to build a simple webpage which describes your project. During the demo we will take pictures of the projects in action and will supply those pictures to you immediately after the demo (or you can use your own camera). This is due by Monday April 26th at 3pm.

Short paper

This short paper should include a coversheet which has:

Your names, the date and a project title.
A short 2-3 sentence description of your project.
The body of the paper should include:

A short description of the project (what it does, what inputs and outputs are used)
A list of issues you feel aren't resolved (something doesn't work quite right, the occasional spurious error).
A list of who did what. This MUST include a "% effort" put in by each group member and this % effort must total 100%. (See below)
A description of any external circuits or wires used. This need not be circuit diagrams. Something like "Had 8 LEDS connected to test points. Used transistors to get strong enough signal" is fine.
A short narrative about how you approched the project, problems encountered, and what you think you did right and wrong as far as approaching the problem.
A list of websites (if any) you refered to in order to do your project.
This paper shouldn't usually be more than 3 or perhaps 4 pages including the coversheet.
The short paper can be turned in to Matt, Mark, or Ron as late as Thursday at 5pm. However you must turn in at least the coversheet during the demo. If you turn in the paper later, it must have a coversheet on it also.
Note: If you can't come to an agreement on % effort, or you disagree with the % effort that appears in your report please send me an e-mail with the subject "373 project effort" and explain your issues. We will be assigning different grades to different group members in some cases.

CD/Floppy

Here we want all of your design files so we can rebuild the FPGA and the assembly portions of your project. Your names, the semester (Winter '04), and the project title should be clearly written on the surface of the disk. This is to be handed in during your demo.

Webpage

You just need to put togeather a simple HTML page which includes at least one picture of your project. The page must include the following information:

Your names
A description of what your project does
a brief description of the components you interfaced with and how they functioned (analog input, pulse width modulation outputs, etc.)
What you found to be the most difficult issue with the project.
Put the page, including linked pictures, into a directory named dirXX (where XX is your group number, with a leading zero if the number is less than 10) and tar or zip the directory. Mail that directory as an attachment to Ron (373ron@umich.edu).
The webpage shouldn't take you more than 30 minutes total, if you are spending longer than that, see us.
