You are attempting to do something that is pretty complicated and difficult. In order for you to be even moderately successful, you will have to climb up a very long and steep learning curve. The first thing you must learn is to realize who around you possess the knowledge that you need. Next, you must learn to listen to those people and to take their advice. It is pretty clear to me that the other posters in this thread have extensive experience in evaluating and selecting microprocessors.

If your teachers have extensive experience doing this kind of work, then they can help you. Otherwise, you all have the opportunity to experiment and learn together. I must say that in the last 30 years, I have never seen a fresh (university) graduate who had the required skills to design such a PCB. Maybe one of the other people posting here have but it is probably pretty rare. Regardless, the kind of PCB you need should not be your first PCB design project.

This is a very admirable goal but making it modular is going to make an already difficult task many times more difficult.
