Course Format
Students will work in small teams to design and implement separate sub-systems of a wireless sensor system
Students will also work in larger teams to perform system level work (power bus, system test (including FCC guideline check), packaging/integration, CAE simulation, signal processing/RF link)
Weekly, 1-hour tutorials will cover fundamental and advanced topics in wireless sensor systems
Tutorials will originate alternately from TTU and USF Weekly informal team meetings with instructor to cover subsystem specifics

Format for Progress Reports
Brief project description and purpose (1-3 sentences) Objectives for the current reporting period (2-3 sentences) Progress for the current reporting period (2-3 paragraphs; use figures and
graphs where needed - they can be reused in your final project report) Plans for the upcoming project period (2-3 sentences) Revised Project Schedule
Keep in mind that the peer(s) who review your report may not be intimately familiar with your project, so you need to clearly explain the objectives and outcomes.

Peer Review Process
Grading criteria: Clarity of report Level of progress made during reporting period Clear goals for upcoming project period
You are required to turn in reviews for two peer reports that will be assigned to you. You should include brief comments/suggestions and an overall grade of G (good), P (passing), and U (unsatisfactory). Hand-in the reports with your name attached, but NOT written on the report (the reviews are anonymous). Two “U” grades from peers will result in a loss of credit for the student, unless overridden by the instructor(s).

Comments
The success of the project (i.e., course) depends on the efforts of all students
Subsystems must work closely to ensure interface requirements are properly defined and met
Need to establish contacts in other groups, ASAP!
Schedule is aggressive: Work early and often!

Alternative Project
The success of the wireless sensor project depends on the timely efforts of all students
A completely acceptable alternative 4720 project is to fully develop four ECE 3760-type labs using newly acquired test equipment.
Any team member not fully participating in wireless sensor project will be removed from project and will be graded on this alternative.
