Senior Design
Senior Design is a year long senior capstone class that emphasizes creative and critical thinking, planning, design, team work, and project management. It integrates knowledge gained from most of the required courses in a major design project. Students will design, build, and formally present their completed projects to a panel of professional reviewers. Ideally students will ideally work on projects from local industry. If such projects are not available, the students or the instructor may propose projects.
