Capstone Industrial Design Projects

Undergraduate

Student teams, supervised by faculty, undertake a significant design project, which integrates mathematics, basic sciences, engineering sciences and complementary studies in making informed, thoughtful and creative decisions in devising a product, system, component, or process to meet specified needs. It is a creative open-ended and generative activity often iterative and multidisciplinary, subject to constraints which may be governed by corporate standards or applicable legislation to varying degrees depending upon the project. These constraints may relate to economic, health, safety, environmental, social or other pertinent factors. Course requirements include seminars, group meetings, oral presentations, and written reports. Faculty advisors and industrial preceptors will advise project groups and evaluate the progress and results of the design projects. (2 lecture hours and 4 laboratory hours a week.) (2 semester course.) (This is an experiential learning course.)
