EEE8151 Coursework

In this coursework, you are required, in a group of 3, to carryout a study project on one of the topics listed below. You should use several academic references (textbooks and research papers), standards and commercial websites in this study. You are expected to spend 40 hours or more on this study project and to submit a report to summarise your findings as detailed below.

1. Comparison between the CAN bus system and another commonly used DCS protocol.

The comparison should cover the main applications, relative market share, layers used from the 7-layer model, MAC method, size of DCS network, relative advantages and disadvantages…etc. You are expected to include background about the chosen DCS protocol, but you do not need to do that for the CAN protocol as this is already covered in the lecture notes of the module. You need also to discuss the criteria that should be used to select one of the two protocols for a particular application.

2. Comparison between CAN protocol and a communication protocol that uses more than 3 layers of the 7-layer model.

The comparison should cover the main applications, functions of the additional layers in comparison to CAN protocol, MAC method, if that communication protocol is suitable for DCS applications, relative features of that communication protocol compared to CAN protocol…etc. You are expected to include background about the chosen communication protocol, but you do not need to do that for the CAN protocol as this is already covered in the lecture notes of the module. You need also to discuss the criteria that should be used to select one of the two protocols for a particular application.

3. Latest and advanced versions of the CAN bus system.

In 2011, Bosch started the CAN FD (flexible data rate) development. Before that, different variants of CAN protocol have been developed. Discuss the technology advance in CAN protocol highlighting the needs for that development and the main features of the advanced versions. Compare between CAN FD, CAN, and CANOpen. The comparison should include the main applications, layers used from the 7-layer model, relative features of CAN FD to CAN and CANOpen protocols…etc. You are expected to include background about the advanced versions of CAN like CAN FD protocol, but you do not need to do that for the CAN protocol and CANOpen as these are already covered in the lecture notes of the module. You need also to discuss the criteria that should be used to select one of these protocols for a particular application.

4. Low-cost practical demonstration for CAN-based DCSs.

If you decide to do some practical experiments to verify what you have learned about CAN protocol, what would be these experiments? In this study project, you need to review different DCS demonstration experiments and write a Report on which experiments could be done at a relatively low cost to demonstrate the operation and main characteristics of the CAN bus system. You are expected to present an overview of lab experiments/ facilities for DCSs and to discuss in detail one of these experiments showing practical components, parameters measured and learning outcomes.

You are encouraged to carryout simple practical experiments. The cost can be paid by the school.

5. Simulation Tools for CAN bus system.

In this study project, you are expected to review the simulation tools available for simulating DCSs and if you need a licence for the tool or if it is open-source software. You can start by reviewing the software available at Newcastle University and identify if it includes block sets suitable for simulating a networked system. You will construct a simulation model for a simple CAN network and show the results obtained from the simulation in your report. The report should also include a review of different available software suitable for simulating a DCS.

6. A topic of your choice.

If you are interested in a particular topic related to DCSs, you can do a study project on that topic provided that you get approval on the topic from the EEE8151 module lecturer.

Report specifications

The report should not exceed 5 pages excluding the appendix (you may include an appendix of any length to support your study). The minimum font size should be 8 for the list of references and 10 for all the other sections. You can use any structure you like but you are expected to include some/most of these sections depending on the chosen topic:

• Background

• Discussions

• Comparisons

• Examples

• Challenges and Opportunities

• Conclusion and Recommendations

You are also encouraged to use figures and tables to support your discussions.

Similarity

The work included in the report should be your own work/research and it should be supported by references. You are expected to summarise your findings in your own words and to not copy directly from the different references.

Submission

The deadline for Report submission will beat 14:00 (UK Time) on the 26th of April 2024. However, you can submit the Report at anytime before the deadline if ready. There will be only one chance for file submission, as it can be marked after the submission. If you submit a wrong file by mistake, you can contact the module lecturer to solve that. However, if your submission is within the last 48 hours before the final deadline, you may have no chance for resubmission (so please make sure that you are submitting the correct file).

Presentation/ Demonstration

An oral presentation or lab demonstration (for the simulation and practical work) will be required in conjunction with the report submission. The presentation/demonstration will give background about the project and cover the main work achieved in the project and the conclusion and future work. It will also show the contributions of the individual members of the group. The notes taken during the presentation and the answers to questions will be considered in report marking.

The presentation will also be used to give you oral feedback about the report.

Marking Criteria

The mark breakdown for the Report will be as follows:

Section	Mark
Background: including abstract, introduction, and general overview.	5
Main Body: including discussions, examples, case studies, figures, comparisons …. etc	15
Conclusions: including section criteria, recommendation, and a summary of main findings.	5
Total Mark	25

The marking criteria for the different mark ranges are broken down as follows:

85 – 100%	This range of marks is for outstanding work that is both complex and challenging. The report will demonstrate a great depth of technical knowledge and substantial evidence of independence, initiative and creativity. There will also be significant evidence of critical analysis and the report will show an extensive breadth of knowledge, encompassing legal and commercial aspects if applicable. Conclusions will be based upon evidence provided. The presentation will be concise, professionally formatted, with highly effective use of images, tables, references, and sectioning.
70 – 85%	The work reported will be complex and/or challenging. The report will demonstrate a deep technical knowledge, and show evidence of independence, initiative and creativity. There will also be evidence of critical analysis and the report will show a very broad knowledge encompassing significant aspects of legal and commercial factors, if applicable. Conclusions will be based upon evidence provided in the report. The report will be presented in a concise, professional format, with highly effective use of images, tables, references, and sectioning.
50 – 70%	Marks within this range are awarded for work that demonstrates a good understanding of the study project, but will lack in some aspects of the depth or breadth of knowledge. Some material beyond that taught in modules will be present, but there will be a reliance on course material. There will be some evidence of critical analysis but with limited knowledge of commercial aspects, if applicable. The report will be well structured, but there will be a few errors or omissions. The conclusions may exhibit weakness in terms of being specific, evidence based or linked with the study context. The report will be presented in a generally concise, professional format, but may contain occasional formatting errors. Use of images, tables, references, and sectioning will be appropriate.
25 – 50%	The work will be unsatisfactory and the report will rely mostly on course materials, demonstrating a limited technical knowledge. There will be little or no evidence of critical analysis and the report may not consider any of the commercial aspects. A clear presentation of the project objectives may be absent, or they will lack specificity. Conclusions may be poorly justified and lack connection to any evidence provided in the report. The report may be adequately structured, but will contain many errors or omissions and some irrelevant material.
0 – 25%	There will be no evidence of critical analysis. The report will not consider the commercial aspects, professional standards and intellectual property if applicable. Often, a report in this range will be excessively short or contain significant quantities of irrelevant material, but will always contain significant errors or omissions. There will generally be no meaningful conclusions.
