Task
‘Global-Technologies' is a systems engineering company that develops systems to support a wide range of applications.
You have been asked as an engineer in the ‘Global- Technologies' company, to design and develop a Smart Campus System ‘SCS'. The SCS usually includes several sub-systems such as renewable energy sub-system, security sub-system, lighting control sub-system, gate control sub-system and other sub-systems that you may include in your SCS design (see an example in Figure 1).

Figure 1: Smart Campus Syb-systems Example
Provide a detailed, professional report for your director that contains the following:
1. A review of different SCS and sub-systems used currently in campuses including their main elements.
2. A design of a typical SCS system that incorporates at least two sub-systems. The system design should include DAQ/ microcontroller and any other required elements for SCS operation.
3. An evaluation of signal conditioning elements that are used in your SCS. 4- Proposal for the next phases of development to include the following:
A. Using of a low-cost controller instead of the current one
B. Using industrial networks of data transmissions; wireless or wired data transmission and Internet of Things
