ENGR 441 Interdisciplinary Senior Design I
This is the first course in the two-semester capstone design sequence. Students will be engaged in a team-based design process, synthesizing knowledge and skills to create an innovative result. The teams will take the design process from brainstorming through final design, including prototyping and testing as appropriate. Students will learn project organization, application of appropriate standards, and decision-making within the context of appropriate constraints and consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors. Effective communication of complex ideas through formal oral and written forms is emphasized. Projects are proposed and guided by mentors, who are School of Engineering faculty or scientists and practitioners at external companies and government laboratories.
