Example Final Reports!

The following links point to some excellent final reports.  The first, is a report from a previous offering of EE2799 which does a good job capturing all of the requirements for a good final report.  You should meet, or even better, exceed the quality of this report!  The second report is from a previous offering of EE2801.  This report does an excellent job documenting a software system.  Maximal points go to those who combine the best points of each report!

Remember, your final report (and presentation) must not only completely describe the technical parts of your project, it must have sections related to Customer Requirements, Product Specifications, Financial Analysis, etc as well!

Mandatory Group Status Sessions

To ensure that each group is making proper progress, in addition to the regular lab sessions on Wednesdays, every group must sign up for at least one half hour session each week (more if your team desires) with a Senior Tutor or Teaching Assistant.  During these meetings you will:

• Review each team members progress (as evidenced in their lab notebook).
• Go over ideas important to the project and homework
• Review homework drafts.
• Go over hardware/software problems.
• Other activities to assist each project team.

Each team member MUST be in attendance at EACH of these meetings.  For each instance where a team member is missing (or late) to a group status session that team member will lose one point of their final grade!  Similarly, if your lab notebook is not prepared and available for review at the group session you will lose one point off your final grade!
