1) To obtain a broad knowledge of classical solutions and current research issues in designing and building embedded systems by reading a variety of papers on the topic.
The computer engineering seminar is a 1-credit course. It is not a free credit, as some students believe. Rather, you can expect to do about one third the amount of work as compared to a 3-credit course.
Each student will have the following tasks:
To accomplish the above, each student will be required to select two topics to research and present, from the list provided on the first day of class. Two or three students will then be assigned to lead each topic, with one seminar week dedicated to that topic.
10 days prior to leading a topic, the students presenting it must submit two papers (one overview, one technical) that will be the focus of discussion. Copies of these papers will be distributed in class one week before the topic is covered. During the seminar period, the students will spend about 10 minutes on the overview paper, 30 minutes on the technical details, and 10 minutes for questions and answers.
Before each seminar, every student (except those presenting) will submit electronically a half-page (approx 30-lines in ASCII) pre-seminar report that answers a few key questions about the papers that will be presented. After each seminar, each student will provide another half-page report that gives feedback on the presentation, and identifies key elements (if any) that were missing or incorrectly stated during the presentation. The text from the post-seminar reports will be passed along to the presenters as feedback to help them improve on future presentations.
