CPE 4901 - Computer Engineering Senior Design Project I1 lecture hours 0 lab hours 3 credits
Course Description
This is the first course in the senior design sequence in which each student team works on a design project from conception through implementation and testing. The team explores technology issues related to the project, elicits system requirements, and begins an iterative design and prototyping process. Teams meet regularly with the instructor to track technical and project management issues. Written reports and oral presentations are required. (prereq: completion of required EECS courses through junior year (a maximum of 1 may be missing), or approved plan of study to complete the degree no later than the semester that senior design is completed)
Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- Work effectively and demonstrate initiative as a project team member
- Communicate project status and technical content in oral and written form to coworkers and management
- Communicate appropriate project aspects to a variety of customers in a public forum
- Manage project resources, risks, and contingency plans
- Elicit and document project requirements
- Perform research and investigate technologies to reduce project risks and support design and planning
- Identify and address relevant engineering standards and constraints in a design project context
- Prepare appropriate documentation for a complex project
- Prototype key or risky project components
- Design, implement, and test hardware components and systems, if appropriate
- Design, implement, and test software components and systems, if appropriate
