IE 4903 - Industrial Engineering Senior Design Project III

1 lecture hours 3 lab hours 3 credits
Course Description
This course provides a mechanism for a design team, with approval received during IE 4901  from the course coordinator and faculty advisor, to undertake a larger scope project with correspondingly longer planned duration. A final project presentation and written report are submitted at the end of IE 4902 .  IE 4903 is subsequently handled in a similar fashion as an independent study course, with the deliverables and expectations set by the faculty advisor. The additional time may be used for building a prototype of the design, implementing changes within a company, or other means of expanding the project scope. A grade is given just for the IE 4903 deliverables; there is no carry-over from IE 4902 . This course satisfies the requirements of an Industrial Engineering elective. (prereq: IE 4902 , consent of instructor)
