Engineering design is a process of devising a system, component, or process to meet desired needs and specifications within constraints. It is an iterative, creative, decision-making process in which the basic sciences, mathematics, and engineering sciences are applied to convert resources into solutions. Engineering design involves identifying opportunities, developing requirements, performing analysis and synthesis, generating multiple solutions, evaluating solutions against requirements, considering risks, and making trade-offs, for the purpose of obtaining a high-quality solution under the given circumstances. For illustrative purposes only, examples of possible constraints include accessibility, aesthetics, codes, constructability, cost, ergonomics, extensibility, functionality, interoperability, legal considerations, maintainability, manufacturability, marketability, policy, regulations, schedule, standards, sustainability, or usability.
Format of the EE491-492 Senior Design Project Classes
Students have two options to choose:
EE491 is a 3 credit complementary class, whereas EE492 is a 4 credit, mandatory class.
Taking just EE491 without a related EE492 is not allowed.
EE491-492 option is not only for group projects. An individual can also choose an individual project spanning over two semesters.
Information about project proposals, completed projects, names of the students assigned to projects, important deadlines and templates of report and other forms are published on this website.
We would like majority of the students to choose the application oriented hands-on group projects spanning over two semesters. At the end of these projects working devices or systems may be implemented by a group work. These projects may train you on how to work in groups and how to develop products from concept to reality. This is a good chance to show your innovative and entrepreneurial skills.
It is time for research and development.
