The program's capstone: a new portable data-acquisition and control unit design assignment, a design-interpretation exercise across all 5 real projects, a Module 17 troubleshooting exercise, a grading rubric, and your certificate of completion.
This closing module is not a new topic — it is where everything from Modules 1 through 20 gets applied to one more design problem this program has not already solved for you: a portable, battery-powered instrument combining a four-channel analog front end, an FPGA-based digital filter, a high-speed memory interface, and control outputs, all under a fixed power budget and a sealed handheld enclosure. A worked battery run-time power budget calculation, a design-interpretation exercise built from all five real-project case studies, and a Module 17 troubleshooting exercise anchor the assignment in the same shown-work discipline this program has used throughout.
Completing this module's quiz below marks the whole program complete and unlocks your certificate of completion from the program hub — a self-issued personal completion record and portfolio artifact, not a licensing credential.
