AEE 4930 - Capstone Senior Design Project

Capstone Senior Design Project is a one-semester capstone experience in which senior students tackle engineering problems and attempt to formulate solutions. This project is a partnership program with industry that allows students working to solve
actual problems encountered in industry. The project gives the students an opportunity to apply their skills in the real world and correlate their study with practical challenges. Towards the completion of the design project, students are allowed to
work in teams or individually upon the obtaining of the program approval and their related academic and industrial supervisors. The major deliverable of the project is a comprehensive report that includes details of the background research, tasks, timelines, budget, preliminary feasibility studies, and project design steps. An oral presentation and poster demonstration are also required and will be evaluated by an examination committee to be chosen from industry experts as well as faculty members. The project grade reflects the student’s ability to understand the engineering problem, formulate solution alternatives, identify the design constraints, and suggest a design proposal. Ethics in engineering practice and research, and professionalism are emphasized. Team design projects are highly encouraged.
