Capstone Design Lab

3 Credits

This course is the first of a two-semester sequence of capstone design laboratory experiences required for Cyber-Physical Systems Engineering students. Students will learn the principles of design, project planning, and project management. They will develop an ability to apply engineering solutions considering public health, safety, and welfare. Students will develop a consciousness of ethical and professional responsibilities and recognition of global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors in the design process. Students will also develop an ability to communicate in written and oral forms and to function effectively on a team. Projects will involve hardware, including a combination of off-the-shelf and custom-made components supported by hardware descriptive language software. The projects meet specific design challenges with applications in industry, healthcare, transportation, environmental sensing, cyber-security, and machine learning.
