This document outlines the objectives, history, and structure of the Electronics Design Project (ECE 4040), led by Martin Brooke at Georgia Tech. The project focuses on the design, analysis, and testing of electronic circuits and systems within a team-based environment. It provides students with a realistic design experience in Electronics Design and Applications (EDA). The report also showcases various project examples, including RF digital radio, optoelectronic data links, and teleoperated vehicles, highlighting successes in developing advanced electronic systems and test beds for experiments.
