2.1. Background
Many students entering the ESE program have little or no experience in engineering
investigation. It is critical that each student establishes knowledge of this process, and
practices the skills required in this area.
2.2. Objectives
This project provides a first opportunity for students to acquire, practice and apply
engineering design skills. Through a series of project-related learning activities, each
student will be able to:
apply the Engineering Design process to design, prototype and test a rolling display unit
2.3. Deliverables
Upon successful completion of the project, each student will deliver:
electronic circuitry capable of amplifying the digital output signals to the levels
required by the LED matrix

2.4. Outcomes
Successful completion of this project requires each student to:
apply the Engineering Design process to the design, implementation, and validation
of an microcontroller-based electronic system
maintain an engineering log book documenting all design and testing procedures,
problems, and results
apply oral and written communication skills in the preparation and presentation of
required design and reporting documents
