2 Credit Hours

Prerequisite: EE 3401 and EE 3501
This course is part one of the two-semester senior capstone design course for students in Electrical Engineering. This course involves an in-depth examination of the principles and methods associated with the engineering design process. Students will be grouped into teams where the engineering design principles and methods are put into practice to develop an electrical engineering project. The final product for the design teams will be a project proposal that will be assessed via design review.
