Honors ECE Design Lab II

Catalog description

Part two of a two-semester-long capstone design experience that provides the opportunity for teams of students to propose, prototype/design, build, test, demonstrate, present and fully document a working prototype of a sophisticated electronic system. In this second part, student teams continue to interact with industry sponsors and/or faculty as they implement their design and conduct validation experiments to demonstrate that their design meets all engineering specifications, standards, and constraints. In documenting their work, student teams will also evaluate their designs in global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic context and develop recommendations for future development. Course meets with I ECE 491 and, in addition to the team project activities for I ECE 491, students will continue their work on the thesis proposal developed in I ECE 492 and produce a separate, individual honors thesis paper and presentation that expands on the team project. Prerequisites: I ECE 492. For ECE Honors majors only.
