EECE 4791 — Electrical and Computer Engineering Capstone 1
1 semester hoursUndergraduateLectureNUpath CENUpath EINUpath WIusually offered: summertypical days: MBostonTraditional
Aims to give undergraduate engineering students significant experience in dealing with a senior design project. Students form teams and select a project requiring design and implementation of an electrical, electronic, and/or software system, including evaluation of multiple constraints, the use of appropriate engineering standards during the design to carry out the project, as well as the submission and presentation of a detailed proposal for the work. The project plan includes the consideration of public health, safety, and welfare and global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors. Students must specify a preliminary list of materials needed for their project, provide a cost analysis, and prepare and deliver written and oral presentations on the design proposal. This is the first of a two-course sequence.
