ENGR 498B

06/07

ENGR 498B. Senior Capstone (3) I. Students will work in cross-disciplinary teams to solve industry-sponsored real-world design problems using the design process. Teaming, design process, design concept, design proposal. ENGR 498A and ENGR 498B must be taken in consecutive semesters. They are usually offered in the spring.

Course Outline:

The objectives (more detailed objectives listed on course website) of this course are to guide the student in

·          applying a systematic design methodology to a realistic, open-ended,
      multidisciplinary design problem from start to finish.

·          applying approaches for developing innovative solutions

·          applying math, science, and engineering fundamentals in a design process

·          working effectively on teams with engineers from multiple disciplines

·          using project management tools effectively, and communicating to a   
      broad audience via both written and oral reports.

Instructors:

Grading:

See Toolkit. Sixty percent of report/presentation grades relate to content, 40% is for communication.

Attendance Policy:

Owing to the team component in this course and the lack of individual accountability on specific topics, attendance is a must. To account for this, attendance will be taken. Details as to how this will affect your grade are in the Toolkit.
