Design reviews are the critical mode of interaction in many forms of
design engineering.  Designs are specified and refined in reviews
and possible implementations are presented and critiqued by peers,
experts, users and clients.  Despite the widespread use of Computer
Aided Design tools in the design of electronic systems, the formal
design review remains one of  the most effective means of specification,
synthesis, verification and, of course, education.

There will be two types of design reviews in this course. 1) Traditional,
and 2) Electronic.  Guidelines for each type of review are provided 
below.


--------------------
Guidelines for traditional design reviews (slide preparation, oral 
presentation skills, documentation, follow-up, etc.)

--------------------

Guidelines for novel electronic design reviews using the Web and
various electronic means to overcome some of the limitations and
inefficiencies of traditional design reviews.  This is a research
interest of Prof. Burleson and is related to the ongoing IDES project:
