The TDC II Capstone Project is meant to emulate the processes BAE Systems uses for its engineering projects. The course begins at project proposal acceptance and follows BAE’s design lifecycle, including SRS, PDR, CDR, and TRR design reviews.

Students are expected to develop and solidify project requirements, perform research on related technologies, formulate trade studies for use in customer meetings, improve cross-disciplinary knowledge, and execute a complex project through the prototype phase (16 week).
