Final Project Proposal

Project Proposal Project Planning Project Documentation Mechanical Design Electronics Design Final Project Presentation


I browsed the project sites of previous batches of student and various youtube channels to draw ideas and inspirations. Without any background or experience in electronics, it was hard for me to decide on a final project as I have no clue how to make it. I suppose that too, is part of the learning process for me as I progress in this course. So I short-listed 3 ideas that I am interested in learning to make.


Automatic Page Turner

My brother is currently taking a Masters programme and he has a lot of reading assignments. One of his complaints is having to hold on to a book for a long time, and that is very tiring. For that reason he bought a book stand so that he can rest his book on the stand and read without holding the book. My reply to that was, why not get an automatic page turner so you don't even have to turn the book?! This was how the idea to make one was born.




Simon Game

Simon was an electronic memory game released in the 1970s that became an instant hit worldwide. The popularity might have died down with the birth of computer and mobile games but I think this game is a perfect memory activity for seniors, for keeping the aging mind sharp.



Propeller Clock

I was facinated by the use of the concept of Persistence Of Vision (POV), which means that if something appears in the same spot consistently, at least 50-60 times per second, our brains think that it's permanently there when it really is not. Until I was reading up about it, I was not even conscious of the fact that many common household electrical items such as TVs and monitors are using this method in their design and production.
