1. Class 9_1 Today: More modeling work session Extension: Computer model due as a HW assignment on Tuesday, March 11.

2. DP questions? The demonstration board is now available for testing. CAMP 148. Door will be unlocked most of the time.

3. Note Due date has been extended to next Tuesday Please use this time to good advantage. No office hours Wednesday this week. Extra office hours Friday, 10-noon.

4. Remember: Use the Design Report Template Include all parts of the “Analysis” section of the template. Read suggestions in the template Professional format: type all equations (hand drawn sketches okay) Don’t forget, it should include results too. Exercise that model to extract information!

5. Tips for getting a good computer model grade Do provide a sketch of your device in the “overview” section, so the reader can understand what you are analyzing. Don’t use a model that is the same as the class examples except for minor tweaks. Do use a loop in your Matlab code in an effective way.

6. Tips for getting a good computer model grade Do provide at least two test cases that build confidence in the results your model is producing. Do type all equations. Do have plenty of words to explain your analysis. Don’t substitute experimental results for analysis results.

7. Tips for getting a good computer model grade Do provide at least two graphs showing the sensitivity of device performance to design choices. Do make a strong case on how you used the results to improve your design. Don’t fake anything.

8. Note This does not need to be the final version of your model You should continue to develop the model and use it to help you make design decisions You will want the best possible model to be part of your Final Report

9. Work session Please have your work ready for me to take a look at. Please use this time to work on your model.

10. Thursday: New topic, technical drawing.
