Projects

Group project based on sampling and study of an ECG signal via a single amplification circuit and software filtering and analysis systems. This required good communication between team members to ensure all work was accomplished within the specification. My role was to design and implement the software filtering system using LabView.

Final year project involved development and construction of a Controller Area Network (CAN) based system suitable for demonstrating the fundamentals of CANBus from an automotive perspective. I achieved a 2:1 grade

Electronics prize for a project to build a Digital Heart Rate meter in 2nd year.

  

Mentions the role he has taken in his group project and also the group dynamics

Relevant projects and dissertations are well worth including.

Interests
  • I was vice captain of the university hockey team. This involved organising squads, training sessions and competitions. 
  • While at school I took part in many group activities the most important of which was the Young Enterprise Scheme.  This scheme involved working in a group to manage and run a successful company and produce a viable product. The chosen product was a magazine which was demonstrated and sold at a nearby shopping centre. 
  • When in the Scouts, I was in charge of a group of 5 younger scouts. Scouts provided me with a variety of life skills including first aid and survival skills, but also gave me responsibility and leadership over groups of others at a young age.
  • Member of the Institute of Electronics and Technology (IET)
