A STUDENT-DESIGNED LABORATORY COMPANION BOARD FOR A COURSE ON MICROPROCESSOR INTERFACING AND EMBEDDED SYSTEMS
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract – This paper describes the production and usage of a student-designed laboratory companion board for a core course on microprocessor interfacing and em-bedded systems in the Department of Electrical and Com-puter Engineering at Queen’s University. The companion board connects to existing digital-only hardware in order to provide analog-digital conversion and other features. The design and prototype implementation of the compan-ion board was pursued as a capstone design project by three students during the 2014-2015 academic session. The student designers had agreed from the outset to allow their intellectual property to be used for educational pur-poses. In mid-2015, a production run of 30 boards was completed. A total of more than 300 students then used the companion board in laboratory activity during the Fall 2015 and Fall 2016 terms. The introduction of this student-designed equipment into the laboratory has been a positive development that provides an example to stu-dents of how material learned in multiple courses can be integrated together to produce a valuable outcome.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
