ENGR 411 Senior Design Project I

Advanced writing. This two-credit course is the first of a two-semester sequence for the culminating capstone design course for engineering students. This course requires senior-level students, working in teams and working with sponsoring engineers, to take an actual engineering project from the initial proposal stage through the preliminary design phase. Students will conduct the necessary activities and prepare the various documents needed to complete the preliminary design. Students establish scopes of work, design criteria, design constraints, impacts to society and the environment, consider sustainable solutions, and conduct analyses to compare alternatives with the goal of determining a preferred alternative. Other topics such as professional licensure and engineering ethics are covered. One hour of lecture per week.
