Disclaimer
Capstone Design is very important for program accreditation
As a result, the program changes from year-to-year
What you see and hear here should be mostly right, but is not guaranteed
Changes are derived in the summer months
EE Capstone Design
Capstone Design Format
EE 400, Fall term, emphasizes paper-based design and project planning
EE 401, Winter term, emphasizes execution of the project plan
Students work in groups, the size of which depends upon the project; historically there have been 4 students in a group
The project must require substantial design and have a definable goal
The project must involve Electrical Engineering, be carried out safely, and be ethically-sound
EE Capstone Design
8-month design-build cycle
In EE400 (Fall): Project Selection (Adoption, Lottery)
Define Project Scope
Develop Requirements Specifications
Develop Paper-Based Design
Critical Design Review/Presentation
In EE401 (Winter): Bread-board Prototyping
PCB Design and Prototyping
Final Design Paper
Demonstration and Presentation with Poster Session
EE Capstone Design
EE Capstone Design: The Courses
Enhanced Alarm Clock
Department Mandate: Clients
The Department would like to see all projects be developed with academic researchers at the institution
…this is evolving and is expected to be fully implemented next academic year
EE Capstone Design
industrial- or R&D-like projects
increased motivation
goal-oriented client provides direction
useful product and effort
develops professional soft skills
resources beyond what is offered by a traditional course framework can be made available

Why Project Clients?

You have a quite a bit of control over what project you pursue
It is wise to pick something that interests you – something that keeps you engaged!
Suggestions, considering the Department mandate: 1. Determine what area of Electrical Engineering you would like
to work in; 2. Talk with the professors that you would like to work with
from this area many will be open to your suggestions; or will have ideas themselves
Having an arrangement to pursue a project before the courses start is good!
For those without projects, a lottery to assign pre-arranged projects typically occurs

Your Project
Forming a group is almost as important as choosing a project
Except in extenuating circumstances, group selection is typically left to you
There is a correlation between project scope and group size: the bigger the group, the bigger the expected project
Suggestions: 1. Form your group based upon skill set rather than
friendship
2. Be prepared to compromise on group formation in order to pursue projects that require a specific number of people
