Area of Science:

  • Engineering Education
  • Curriculum Development

Background:

  • University engineering programs mandate design credits for accreditation.
  • The capstone course integrates and extends major-specific knowledge toward a project.
  • Students gain exposure to system-wide analysis, critique, and evaluation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the structure and methodology of a senior engineering design course.
  • To highlight the use of web-based tools for project management and reporting.
  • To outline the deliverables and resources provided to students.

Main Methods:

  • Students work in teams on externally sponsored projects.
  • A web-based approach is utilized for progress reporting and project documentation.
  • Deliverables include weekly reports, project statements, specifications, proposals, and final reports.

Main Results:

  • Students create web sites (HTML/PDF) for project reporting.
  • Externally sponsored projects provide real-world design experience.
  • A senior design homepage offers access to data books and resources.

Conclusions:

  • The described senior design course effectively integrates engineering principles and project management.
  • Web-based reporting facilitates collaboration with external sponsors.
  • Future plans include distance learning experiences to enhance project collaboration.
