Engineering Design & Development

Catalog description

This is the integrated engineering capstone course that is shared between computer, electrical, and mechanical engineering students. Students will work together in teams to build requirements, design, build, and test an electro-mechanical component or system. Project topics vary every semester, although there is usually an external customer that will work with students. The instructor of record for the course serves as the project manager, assessing the individual and team performance, and students will be assessed on their ability to act as a professional working in the field. The course meets for 2 credit hours per week reflecting the amount of time the students will meet as one collective group with the faculty, but students should expect to work substantially more hours with their team, outside of class. Graduate students are not permitted to take this course.
