CSCI 4368 - Multidisciplinary Design Project 1
Secondary Instructor
-
Fall 2024
Design, develop, test, and deploy software that is integrated into a mechanical system. Participate as a member of a multi-disciplinary team that could include students from computer science, mechanical, and electrical disciplines. Develop project management and communication skills as they pertain to a multi-disciplinary team. Support the project team through self-directed study. First semester of a senior capstone course. Students must take this course and CSCI 4378 contiguously as the project spans the entire academic year. Department-enforced prerequisites differ for BS and BA degree. Contact academic advisor for details. Senior Capstone courses are optional for BA students. BA students interested in taking this course should contact their advisor(s) early in their major.

MCEN 4045 - Mechanical Engineering Design Project 1
Primary Instructor
-
Fall 2024
First part of a two-course capstone design experience in mechanical engineering. Covers problem definition, determining design requirements, alternative design concepts, engineering analysis, proof-of-concept prototype and CAD drawings. Students make several oral design reviews, a final design presentation, and prepare a written report. IDEN-BSIDE students are not required to complete MCEN 2000, MCEN 3022, MCEN 3030 or MCEN 4026 but have additional prerequisites of GEEN 1400, 2400 and 3400.
