Homework:  Work on analog term project.

Option 1:  Hypothesis Testing:  Ask a question – design an experiment with a calibrated analog input and data collection over time – use statistical analysis to answer your question

Option 2: Embedded System with Analog I/O:   Build an embedded system with an analog input and/or output and 2+ interrupts.  Same as previous one:  requirements / analysis / test / validation
