Engineering

This assignment has two parts:Part A: Preliminary Design DocumentsYou should first complete the Preliminary Design:Any functional blocks which were not designed in week 1 should be designed.  The software flow charts should be completed and critical software written.Subsystems which can be simulated should be simulated to verify the designs.  If designs do not work, changes should be made.Critical software should be tested to the extent possible.This document should include:Problem Definition (use Project Proposal)Proposed Solution (use Project Proposal)Chosen Conceptual Design Explanation with Functional Block Diagram (use System Design Review Document)Functional Specifications (use System Design Review Document)Narrative of design methodology for various functions along with resulting design schematics.  Results of simulationNarrative explaining the software architecture and results of tests of any coded softwareSummary of any changes to overall design, costs, schedule, or risks as a result of the preliminary design.Appendix A:  Design calculationsAppendix B:  Detailed software flowchartAppendix C:  An updated list of components.  At this point, the list is just a table with three columns: Item Number (1, 2, 3, etc.), Part Description (ex. 100 ohm resistor), and Quantity.Note that the component selection document will be finalized and updated after the circuit or system is built and tested. Thus, it is expected that minor adjustments will be made to the component values initially chosen in order to achieve the desired outputs.Part B: Role of Physics or Other Sciences (This will also be included in your final project report as this is used for assessment of your understanding of the scientific concepts and calculations underpinning your project.)Write at least several paragraphs addressing in a technical and non-superficial manner:a.  the role that physics or other scientific concepts play in the operation of your projectb.  how the mathematical treatment and design of your project relies on mathematics/equations associated with physics or other sciences.
