MES Capstone Design II

Catalog description

This course is the second of a two-semester engineering design experience. This capstone experience culminates the MES student's undergraduate education experience. Working in teams, students perform engineering design to solve a real-world engineering problem supplied by an industry partner. In MES 403 , students follow a formal systems engineering approach to manage their design project from Concept Review through the completion of a Preliminary Design Review and a Critical Design Review. Students develop written and verbal communication skills through reports and presentations. Students also gain insight into engineering design practices through guest lectures from local engineers. The course requires travel to a sponsor, and students must provide or arrange for their own transportation.
