Preparatory Ece Senior Design

3 credits – The course is the preparatory, proposal development section of the senior capstone design experience for computer engineering and electrical engineering majors. The course will focus on developing a proposal for a group design project. The senior design projects aim at developing engineering design skills of a complete computer/electrical system. Elements of developing a successful proposal are emphasized along with written communication skills, engineering professional development, technical presentation skills, developing an understanding of the societal impact of the project, and developing realistic constraints on the design based on engineering standards. Oral and written communication skills are stressed. This is a writing intensive course. Industry-sponsored multi-disciplinary design projects are an option. (offered Fall, Spring)
