ELE 4902 - Electrical Engineering - Senior Design Project II

1 lecture hours 0 lab hours 3 credits
Course Description
This is the second course in the two-course EE senior design sequence.  In this course, the teams further develop and validate all major subsystems of their design.  These subsystems are further modified if necessary and integrated into a complete solution.  The solution is verified against the requirements and specifications developed in ELE 4901 through testing and other methods.  It is expected that each team will have a working prototype to demonstrate by the end of this course. Teams present their results at a public showing. This course meets the following Raider Core CLO requirement: Integrate Learning. (prereq: completion of ELE 4901  in the previous semester)
Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
  • Work as part of a design team to completely design, prototype, and test a design
  • Select an appropriate prototype technique to demonstrate feasibility of the design
  • Develop a prototype or proof-of-concept model
  • Select and order the appropriate materials required for development of the prototype
  • Evaluate their behavior on their design team in the context of professional and ethical responsibility
  • Utilize laboratory instrumentation for debugging and testing
  • Prepare a verification plan and procedures to validate the design meets specifications
  • Conduct steps that verify/validate the design based on the specifications
  • Prepare a complete project report documenting the design, prototype, and verification results
  • Communicate the project results to faculty, peers and the general public in a trade show setting
