Catalog Description
This course is designed to give students the
experience of tackling a realistic engineering problem. The intent is to
show how to put theoretical knowledge gained into practical use by
starting from a word description of a problem and proceeding through
various design phases to end up with a practical engineering solution. COE
faculty in their respective specialization areas offers various projects.
The project advisor guides the student in conducting feasibility study,
preparation of specifications, and the methodology for the design.
Detailed design and implementation of the project are carried out followed
by testing, debugging, and documentation. An oral presentation and a final
report are given at the end of the semester.
Prerequisite: Senior standing. |

Work out carefully a complete project proposal including action for the entire semester.
The proposal should have sufficient details. You should clearly indicate your targets, and how you
will achieve them.
Make a careful study of the resources required for your project, e.g.
references, software, hardware components, boards, etc.
-
