Mechanical Engineering Capstone Design II

Catalog description

This course serves as the second of two in the cumulative design experience in the mechanical engineering program. Students continue work as members of a team to refine the design proposed in the prerequisite Capstone Design I course. Refinement of the design may include further analysis of design performance with computational tools (e.g. FEA/CFD), drafting of part and assembly drawings, construction and testing of a prototype, adaptation of the design for manufacturing scalability, and other modifications which account for public safety, environmental, social, global, and economic factors. Students will defend their final design with a written report as well as a public poster presentation to a general audience.
