ME 400/401

Capstone Design

Summer/Spring

Course Description:

Engineering students, operating in design teams, apply principles of the design process to create a product or process to meet the needs of a customer.  Projects may originate from industry, as a contest sponsored by a professional society, or other venues.  The design team, with the guidance of a faculty advisor, must plan, direct, conduct, and effectively communicate the results of the design effort through a professional engineering report and/or presentation. The design project will include material within and beyond the curriculum as well as technical and non-technical considerations. Design projects often result in a deliverable prototype.
