Students enrolled in ECEN 489-501 and ECEN 689-605 will be using this GitHub repository as the primary remote repository for source code management (SCM).

The goal of this multidisciplinary project-based laboratory course is to provide instruction on system-level integration and design through a range of hands-on activities that complement the traditional classroom experience. This includes the Android prototyping platform, Eclipse, Java, Git, SQL and cloud services. The focus is on modular application development, algorithms, information management, storage and data visualization. In addition, emphasis is put on team work, presentation skills, time management, creativity and innovation.
