Faculty Meeting – May 12,’08 EE/TE/CE Senior Design Why is Senior Design so Important for your BS - EE / CE / TE Degrees?  It represents the “Open Design” Experience resulting from 4 years of coursework  It is the ONLY class, where the students are completely responsible for direction & content of their work  It is the ONLY class where students have direct feedback from Industry  Projects are “Open Ended” – not cookbook/structured  Failures can happen – you need to overcome these!  No Excuses! – You MUST deliver a solution (or repeat!)  It is your time to “show us what you have learned!”

EE Fundamentals Chart Faculty Meeting – May 12,’08 EE/TE/CE Senior Design  Step 1: EE Faculty identified skills necessary for BS in EE  Step 2: Individual EE Faculty assigned/determined skills/knowledge for each class  Step 3: EE-IAB reviews to determine skills and knowledge appropriate  Step 4: EE Sub-Areas Assess Collectively (Digital Area reviewed, etc.) (EE faculty have made 8-10 full passes on fundamentals chart in AY 06-07)

EE 4388 Senior Design 1 Faculty Meeting – May 12,’08 EE 4388 Senior Design Project I (3 semester hours) First of two sequential semesters devoted to a team project that engages students in the full engineering design process. The goal of senior design projects is to prepare the student to run/participate in engineering projects related to an appropriate industry. Thus, all project teams are to follow standard industrial practices and methods. Teams must carry the engineering project to completion, examining real world constraints, following applicable industrial and business standards. Such constraints may include but are not limited to: economic, environmental, industrial standards, team time/resource management and cross-disciplinary/departmental result integration. (Students are encouraged to work in teams that include collaborative design interaction, but may work on individual projects as well, provided there is a collaboration component. Additionally, cross disciplinary/departmental teams are encouraged but not required.) In Senior Design I, project proposals will be written, reviewed and approved. Initial designs will be completed and corresponding constraints will be determined. All students will participate in a public oral presentation following departmental approved guidelines at a departmental approved time and location. Teams will also submit a written end of semester progress report and documented team communication (complete sets of weekly reports and/or log books) following guidelines approved by the faculty. Students must have completed ECS 3390 and one of the following prerequisite sequences: (CE 3311, CE 3320, CE 3346, and CE 3354), or (EE 3300, EE 3302, EE 3311, and EE 3320), or (EE 3300, TE 3302, and TE 3346; pre- or corequisite EE 3350).

EE 4389 Senior Design 2 Faculty Meeting – May 12,’08 EE 4389 Senior Design Project II (3 semester hours) Continuation of the Senior Design project begun in the previous semester. In Senior Design II, projects based on approved project proposals will be completed. All limitations of the design will be determined and addressed. All students will participate in a public oral presentation following faculty-approved guidelines at a faculty-approved time and location. Teams will also submit a written final report and documented team communication (complete sets of weekly reports and/or log books) following faculty-approved guidelines. Prerequisite: CE/EE/TE 4388.
