Prerequisite: ²Ñ·¡³§Ìý302; Corequisite: ²Ñ´¡·¡Ìý310

Typically offered in Fall only

This course sequence is the first in the senior capstone engineering design experience. This capstone experience is the culmination of the MES student's undergraduate education experience. Working in teams, students perform engineering design to solve a real-world engineering problem supplied by an industry partner. In ²Ñ·¡³§Ìý401 & ²Ñ·¡³§Ìý403, students follow a formal systems engineering approach to manage their design project through the completion of a System Requirements Review, a Conceptual Design Review, a Preliminary Design Review, a Detailed Design Review, and a Critical Design Review. Students develop written and verbal communication skills through reports and presentations. Students also gain insight into engineering design practices through guest lectures from local engineers. Course requires travel to sponsor and students are required to provide or arrange for their own transportation.

Prerequisite: ²Ñ·¡³§Ìý300 and ²Ñ´¡·¡Ìý316; Corequisite: ²Ñ´¡·¡Ìý310 and ²Ñ´¡·¡Ìý415

Typically offered in Fall only

This course is second in a two semester engineering design and manufacturing experience which is the culmination of the MES student's undergraduate education experience. In teams, students solve a real-world engineering problem supplied by an industry partner. In the two courses, students follow a formal systems engineering approach to manage their project through the following reviews: System Requirements, Conceptual Design, Preliminary Design, and Critical Design. Students develop written and verbal communication skills and gain insight into engineering design practices through guest lectures from local engineers. Students must provide any transportation needed for this class. MES students only.
