Abstract
There is still a large gap between the academic design approach taught to our
students and the real world of competitive product design. In spite of program
upgrades which heavily emphasize design, the termination of many of our
students' advanced design projects is still a maze of breadboards connected
together with wires which randomly wander off to input sensors or output
displays. Clearly, there is a big step missing between the disorganized
connection of components which concludes a design project; and the sleek,
injection molded Sony Discman that is playing in the design laboratory beside
the workbench. In an effort to close the gap between engineering education and
modern consumer electronics product design, the Department of Electrical
Engineering at the University of Washington has initiated a "reverse-
engineering" course in Consumer Electronics. The first offering of the course
was made during Winter 1994 as part of the College of Engineering honors
program.
