Engineering Design II

Catalog description

This is a two-semester, year-long capstone design project in which students acquire a culminating design experience by working under the supervision of a faculty member on a design project that involves realistic constraints including economic, environmental, sustainability, manufacturability, ethical, health, and safety, social, and political factors. In most cases, in the fall ( EEO 440 ), students investigate and finalize the design aspect whereas in the spring (EEO 441), implementation and testing are carried out. Projects are solicited from industries and faculty members, and to the extent possible, mentored by professional engineers. Two comprehensive technical reports (one for EEO 440 and one for EEO 441) and an oral presentation are required. May not be taken for credit in addition to ESE 441 .
