Course Information

Industry-like two semester, team-based design experience. Design and implement solutions to meet multiple realistic constraints; design to incorporate appropriate engineering standards. A specific, complex engineering design problem taken from problem definition to product realization and testing. Written and oral communication, professional development, project management, and working within a team. 5805: Determine and formulate an engineering problem with multiple realistic constraints. Generate and select design alternatives. Apply design and analysis methods to develop, evaluate, and communicate a detailed project design. 5806: Implement and refine the project design from ECE 5805. Test, analyze, document, and deliver the resulting project outcomes. A final oral and written examination that satisfies the Master of Engineering (MEng) program requirements. Pre: Graduate standing in Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering Master of Engineering degree students only for 5805; 5805 (B) for 5806.
