The objective of the integration of Intel
Atom-processor board to the Senior Design I
& II is to give students high-end, media-rich platform for
their project implementation.
Senior design projects, in their completed forms, are all
digital or computer systems.
In other words, without computers or microcomputer
applications, there is no completed design project.
Up to now, without financial support, the senior design
courses have relied in the use of system integration platform on
students’ own expenses and minimal level of support from the
department. Therefore,
the usual system implementation platforms were low-end
microcontrollers which satisfied only simple input and output
controls. However,
students’ need and application demands are moving toward mobile
computing and smart& intelligent devices and applications such as
autonomous robot, GPS and Web-based blind assistant, and radar data
management. These
applications need various and standardized connectivity and well
established software development environment.
The Intel Atom-processor board will provide the much needed
implementation platform for mobile- and media-rich application
oriented senior design projects.
Intel Embedded System Integration for Senior Design Project:
The Atom-based embedded system
will be used as the common, and the only, system implementation and
integration platform for all senior design projects which require computer
systems.

Cornell Cup USA 2013 Presented by Intel:
Cornell
Cup USA is
officially announcing the 2013 student contest!
It is targeting “senior level projects” for this contest and this is a great
opportunity for students to apply their learning and put together a team to
contend for a spot in the final competition. The teams who are selected get
free HW, access to Intel technical support, $2500 cash, access to Cornell
support and an invitation to the final event on May 3 & 4, 2013,
at Disney World, FL.
We have a limited number of entries that will be approved and the amount of
work needed for a quality entry is important. The
contest entry due date is October 17.
Based on last year’s feedback from the participating students, this is a
very rewarding and valuable experience. The contest web site
containing all the details, including the team’s application, is
http://www.systemseng.cornell.edu/intel/
. Please share this contest within your networks. The grand
prize is $10,000!
