-
3.00 Credits
During this design course emphasizing individual creativity, students (working with a faculty mentor) develop project objectives and performance specifi-cations.At review meetings, students present progress on the project including analytic and experimental results to date.A final report and presentation demon-strates the accomplishments and significant conclusions.Faculty involvement creates a realistic engineering development environment.Students may take this course as independent study once the prerequisites have been met.(Prerequisites: departmental approval of project proposal following completion of non-elective mechanical engineering courses and at least one major elective) One to three credits.
-
3.00 Credits
In this capstone course, students work in teams on advanced projects that emphasize the engineering design approach.Each team works closely with a faculty/mentor and conducts literature searches, synthesis, and in-depth analysis and experimentation.Individual team members make frequent presentations to faculty and peers; students receive instruction in effective communication to enable successful presentation skills.An oral presentation, written report, and working models complete the course requirements.Students begin this two-semester course in the fall term.(Prerequisites: completion of all non-elective courses prior to ME 391 and completion of adequate program requirements to enable graduation within one year of course completion) Three credits per semester; six credits total.
