Senior Design I

Catalog description

This course is part of the fourth Project course for engineering students. ENGR 490 is the first course in a two-semester sequence, which serves as the Senior Inquiry project for BSE students. The ENGR 490/491 sequence also fulfills the ABET degree requirement for "a major design experience based on the knowledge and skills acquired in earlier course work and incorporating appropriate engineering standards and multiple realistic constraints." In this first part of the course, students will complete the exploratory part of the design process: researching related solutions, determining potential economic, environmental, and safety issues, determining product specifications and functions, performing a market analysis, conceiving of a concept product, and detailing your initial design. Prerequisite: ENDE-390
