-
1.00 Credits
This is the first of a two-semester sequence for seniors intended to be a "capstone" design project where students have the opportunity to utilize the broad range of their undergraduate experience in an interdisciplinary design project. Projects are selected to provide interaction between nuclear engineering and engineering physics majors to provide exposure to cross-fertilization of ideas and team interaction, which simulates anticipated future professional experience. The product of each design project is a comprehensive report or design proposal having both global and detail completeness. Under some circumstances, the project may involve development of cost information necessary to effect construction and may actually involve construction and commissioning of the designed apparatus.Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisite: permission of instructor. When Offered: Fall term annually. Credit Hours: 1
-
