Course Goals / Objectives:
Demonstrate competence applying engineering design methods
Demonstrate competence in the management of a project
Demonstrate competence in a team-based environment. Student design is part of a larger research effort with others beyond the research advisor, e.g. other honors students, graduate students, faculty, research staff
Demonstrate mastery in technical writing and presentation skills
Design, build, demonstrate, and report on a major project, integrating material learned
Be exposed to relevant engineering standards
Demonstrate familiarity in considering multiple realistic constraints (e.g. economic, environmental, sustainability,
manufacturability, ethical, health and safety, social and political issues) while carrying out their design
manufacturability, ethical, health and safety, social and political issues) while carrying out their design
