Integrated Engineering Capstone Design Project

Undergraduate

Year-long, multi-disciplinary engineering design project. Applications of an integrated engineering knowledge base to design a solution to an open-ended real-life engineering problem. projects including the following tasks: Design Refinements based on findings from Proof-of-Concept Prototype; Detailed Design and Engineering Analysis; Test Plan; Test Results and Product Validation; Final Project Presentation; Final Project Report; and Prototype System Demonstration. Another objective of the course is improving the students’ soft skills that include the ability to work in as an individual and team, participating in project planning and scheduling, professional presentation, and ability to deal with uncertainties in a professional manner. This course normally includes studying open-ended engineering design topics. These may consist of real-world design projects proposed and sponsored by industrial partners, or design projects on topics proposed by Faculty Advisors, or topics proposed by a group of enrolled students. Course Format: Lectures, 1 hour per week; seminar, 1 hour per week; labs, 4 hours per week Restrictions: open to BEng majors with a minimum 16 overall credits.
