Current:
- Prerequisite(s):
- Undergraduate level ECE 27500 Minimum Grade of D- and
- Undergraduate level ECE 31200 Minimum Grade of D- and
- Undergraduate level ECE 37000 Minimum Grade of D- and
- (Undergraduate level ECE 38400 Minimum Grade of D- or Undergraduate level CS 27500 Minimum Grade of D- and Undergraduate level ECE 30100 Minimum Grade of D- and Undergraduate level ECE 37100 Minimum Grade of D-) and
- (Undergraduate level COM 30700 Minimum Grade of D- or Undergraduate level ENGL 30700 Minimum Grade of D-)
- Course Pattern: 2-6-4
- Credit Hours: 3.00 (ME 42900, CE 42900).
The senior engineering design courses I and II constitute a two-semester sequence of an interdisciplinary activity. The objective of these courses is to provide engineering students with supervised experience in the process and practice of engineering design. Projects are chosen by the students or the faculty. Students working in teams pursue an idea from conception to realistic design. The course concludes with a substantial written and oral design review before a faculty team. Class discussions will include the ethical responsibility of engineers, impact of engineering solution in a global/societal context, and small-group interactions.
Typically offered Fall Spring Summer.
