EE- 458 Senior Design Project 

GOALS

• To teach students about designing systems to meet specification
• To teach students about project management
• To teach student about cost benefit analysis
• To teach students how to produce design reviews
• To teach students about oral presentations
• To teach students about progress reports
• To teach students about the impact their design has on society
• To teach students about trade off in component selection

EXPECTED OUTCOMES

• Students will be able to write a proposal
• Students will be able to design a system to meet realistic constraints
• Students will be able to create a schedule
• Students will deliver progress reports in written and oral form
• Students will be able to produce design reviews
• Students will be able to apply engineering principles to solve problems
• Students will produce a design from inception to final product
• Students will present their final project in oral, written and electronic form.
• Students will understand how their project relates to social, moral, ethical, environmental concerns.

 OUTCOMES ASSESSMENT

• Students ability write a proposal, design a systems to meet constraints will be assessed through written and oral presentations.
• Students ability to create a schedule and deliver a product will be evaluated through oral, written and electronic reviews.
• Students ability to apply engineering principles to solve problems will be evaluated through oral presentations evaluations and written work.
• Students ability to produce a final product will be evaluation through a formal presentation delivered in oral written and electronic form.
• Students ability to understand the impact of their designs on social, moral, ethical, and environmental areas will be evaluated in oral and written format.
