Senior Design I

Catalog description

This is a capstone design course. This course provides students the opportunity to work with real-world, open-ended, and/or interdisciplinary challenges proposed by faculty or industrial project sponsors. Students work as a small team supervised by a faculty member and/or industry advisor. Students team learn and apply principles of engineering, biology, chemistry, physics, and mathematics to solve biomedical engineering problems through the consideration of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts. The design process involves: defining functional requirements, conceptualization, design, development, construction, physical prototyping, measurement, analysis, and conclusion. An initial proposal and progress report are required at the beginning of the course as well as in the middle of these two semesters, respectively. A final report and post/oral presentations are required at the end of the second semester.
