ECE 4760: Final project proposal

Submit an initial specification and design for your final project. See lab 4 for more details. The total length should be 2 to 5 pages.
We will use this specification to decide whether the project is suitable for the course, and if it has a reasonable probability of success.
This document should include:

• A page describing the project at a high level (e.g. rationale, user interface, functions)
• A tentative parts cost list.
• A paragraph describing the societal impact of your project. This might include:
  • A paragraph describing the standards (IEEE, ISO, ANSI, etc) relevant to your project.
  • safety considerations (lasers?, wires connected to human?)
  • human factors and usability
  • interface design considerations for people with special needs (e.g. color blindness, sight resolution)
  • Intellectual property considerations. (music clips?, code?, images?)
  • If you use any RF transmitter, include compliance information with FCC regulations
  • Other legal considerations such as FDA or motor vehicle codes.
• A first pass of the technology you will use, including:
  • A block diagram or pseuocode
  • Tentative source code (if you have it)
  • A tentative schematic for any hardware you need to build.
  • A parts list with specific parts types, so that we can see if we have the material.
