| | 5. | COURSE OBJECTIVES |
| | 1. The principal objective is the ensure that all undergraduate students have a high quality capstone design experience to |
| | integrate concepts from a range of classes in the core. (Criteria 3(a),(b),(c),(d),(e),(g),(h),(i),(k)) |
| | 2. The students are to apply modern engineering practices and techniques. (Criterion 3(k)) |
| | 3. The students apply verbal and oral technical communication skills to document the design process. (Criterion 3(g)) |
| | 4. Teamwork is required in performing design and completing design. (Criteria 3(c),(d)) |
| | 5. Students will perform their design in context of realistic design constraints such as economic, environmental, social, |
| | political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability. (Criterion 3(c)) |
| | 6. | TOPICS AND (# OF LECTURES) |
| | Written project specification and requirements |
| | Use of modern design tools |
| | Use of components and systems specific to particular project |
| | Formal oral presentations on design project |
| | 7. | CLASS MEETING PATTERN | (For example, "3cl." means 3 48-min classes per week.) |
