CENTENNIAL COLLEGE

BTEC225

Course Description
In Project Design Applications, biomedical engineering students will learn the project designing process with intensive utilization of popular software applications and hardware prototyping. Students will gain hands-on experience in PCB design, electronic project fabrications and assembly. BTEC225 will conclude with complex testing and practical troubleshooting procedures that will support and supplement the PCB design.

Course Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion of this course, the student will have reliably demonstrated the ability to: 1. Assess the requirements and characteristics of analog or digital circuits for a given application, and summarize these in a functional specification. 2. Select and specify analog circuit components to meet design specifications. 3. Design analog circuits using knowledge of analog electronics, computer simulation programs, and generic engineering principles. 4. Construct, test, and evaluate analog and/or digital circuits. 5. Select and use test and measurement instrumentation to characterize and troubleshoot analog circuits. 6. Prepare and present project-related documents, including reports in oral and/or written formats. 7. Produce plan drawings, schematic diagrams and presentation graphics using computeraided drafting and schematic capture software. 8. Prepare sketches and drawings in accordance with industry standards, formats, symbols and reference systems. 9. Specify and validate sampling methods, collect, organize and report statistical data. Evaluate data in terms of mean values and standard deviation. 10. Prepare schematic diagrams appropriate for the discipline. 11. Prepare sketches and/or drawings in accordance with discipline standards, formats, symbols and reference systems 12. Interpret blueprints, design drawings, sketches, and related graphics. 13. Produce engineering drawings using appropriate standards and symbols. 14. Apply soldering and de-soldering techniques. 15. Fabricate and assemble printed circuit boards. 16. Use simulation software to evaluate circuit response. 17. Use Internet technologies to transfer, research and retrieve information. 18. Demonstrate the practice of good technical writing.

Essential Employability Skills (EES)

This course supports the students ability to: 1. Execute mathematical operations accurately. 2. Apply a systematic approach to solve problems. 3. Use a variety of thinking skills to anticipate and solve problems. 4. Locate, select, organize, and document information using appropriate technology and information systems. 5.

In consultation with the Chair or Dean, a faculty member or instructor may administer additional or alternative evaluations to fully assess the capability of a student. When writing a test or examination, students must put their official College photo-ID cards in full view for review by the invigilator. Students who do not have official photo-ID will be permitted to write the examination with a substitute photo-ID, but they will be required to produce photo-ID at the program or department office within 24 hours or the next business day following the examination, or else the examination results will be void.

Student Accommodation
All students have the right to study in an environment that is free from discrimination and/or harassment. It is College Policy to provide accommodation based on grounds defined in the Ontario Human Rights Code. Accommodation may include changes or modifications to standard practices. This document is available in alternative formats upon request. Please contact the originating department or school of study. Students with disabilities who require academic accommodations must register with the Centre for Student with Disabilities. Please see the Centre for Students with Disabilities for details. Students requiring accommodation based on human rights grounds should talk with their professors as early as possible. Details are available on the Centennial College website (www.centennialcollege.ca ).

If students are unable to write an examination due to a medical problem or unforeseen family problems, they should immediately contact their professor or program Chair for advice. In exceptional and well documented circumstances (e.g. unexpected family problems, serious illness, or death of a close family member), students should be able to write a make-up examination to replace an examination missed.

Use of Dictionaries
Any dictionary (hard copy or electronic) may be used in regular class work; Dictionary use is not permitted in test or examination settings.

Course, Program or School Policies

As stipulated by College Policy, 80% attendance is required for labs. Project is contemporary for overall passing grade. In addition, for passing grade, student must achieve both: at least 25% in part 1 (Lab Work) and at least 25% in Part 2 (Final Project). Lab work: Each student must have their own Lab Manual for individual assessment. This Laboratory Manual is intellectual property and cannot be copied or reproduced, as a whole or in part, without explicit publishers consent.

Student Rights and Responsibilities

Students should familiarize themselves with all College Policies that cover students rights and responsibilities. For more information on the following and other policies, please visit www.centennialcollege.ca/aboutus/respect or consult the Academic Matters Section in the fulltime and Continuing Education catalogues. Respect at Centennial At Centennial College, we are committed to providing a safe and respectful learning, teaching and working environment for all students, faculty, and staff that promotes equity. Policies have been put in place to ensure that Centennial is a place that demonstrates respect and consistency with the Ontario Human Rights Code. All incidents of harassment, discrimination, bullying, and violence will be addressed and responded to. As a college, we take the position that all forms of harassment, including personal harassment and bullying, must be stopped. Please refer to www.centennialcollege.ca/aboutus/respect and www.stopbullyingnow.ca. Academic Honesty Academic honesty is integral to the learning process and a necessary ingredient of academic integrity. Students have a responsibility to be aware of and comply with College standards of academic conduct. Academic dishonesty includes cheating, plagiarism, and impersonation. All of these occur when the work of others is presented by a student as their own and/or without citing sources of information. Breaches of academic honesty will be investigated and if warranted, appropriate remedies and penalties will be applied, which may include a failing grade on the assignment/course, suspension, or expulsion from the college. Grades Appeal Students and faculty have rights and responsibilities in the Grades Appeal process. Students who need to appeal a grade should consult the Grades Appeal policy and procedures.

Progression and Academic Standing Students are expected to meet the academic standards of their School or program. The academic standing of each Centennial student is monitored during, as well as at the end of, each semester. Any student not demonstrating satisfactory progress will be informed of his/her standing in the College and will receive academic advising within their School. Unsatisfactory academic performance may result in conditional academic standing, probation, or suspension.

Faculty Support
Professors are available to see students outside of class time. Students can contact professors via voice mail, email, or through their program or department office. Information regarding how to contact teachers will be provided at the beginning of the course and is also available in the program or department office.

Campus Safety
As part of our efforts to maintain a safe and secure teaching, learning and working environment, professors, and instructors will review emergency procedures for fire, evacuations, emergency lock-downs, and safe exit for those with disabilities at the beginning of each course. Students must produce official photo identification when requested to do so by any college staff at any time during the semester.
