Abstract
Electronic Engineering undergraduates are increasingly interested in final-year individual projects that
involve brain-computer interfacing. This paper outlines the challenges of resourcing these types of medical
instrumentation projects and describes the adoption of the open source OpenEEG electroencephalography
platform in final-year undergraduate projects. The OpenEEG projects applied a broad range of curriculum
components including computer interfacing, signal processing and software development. The applications were
wide-ranging and provided good opportunities to explore relevant research. The paper describes the initial
investment in support required to resource the projects, in particular, the provision of supporting code
examples. The projects were particularly popular with students. In total, twelve final-year project students used
the OpenEEG platform. Student engagement was good and the project outcomes were slightly above cohort
average.
