ME Senior Design I

Catalog description

This is the senior capstone design project for mechanical engineers. Student teams work independently on a design project to find a solution consistent with stated specifications using principles studied in previous courses. Work in this semester emphasizes proposal writing, background research, and preliminary design. Students prepare a proposal and give a mid-term design review and end-of-semester oral and written presentation. Projects are advised by a faculty committee and includes weekly meetings and written progress reports with the project faculty advisor. Prerequisite: EGME-3850 Mechanical Design; EGME-3610 Kinematics and Design of Machines; EGME-3150 Heat Transfer; EGME-3020 Mechanical Engineering Lab II; and senior status engineering.
