EE 490 - ECE CAPSTONE DESIGN I

Stanley and Karen Pigman College of Engineering

Credit(s): 3

The first semester of a two-semester capstone design sequence for senior students in electrical engineering with an emphasis on the engineering design processes. Topics important in product design and manufacturing are included, including considerations of economics, safety, and communication. Students are expected to formally propose a design project that includes a problem definition that incorporates engineering standards and realistic constraints. Students work in teams to develop and complete the designs. Lecture, two hours, laboratory, three hours per week. This course is a Graduation Composition and Communication Requirement (GCCR) course in certain programs, and hence is not likely to be eligible for automatic transfer credit to UK.

Prereq: Engineering standing and completion of all other required 400- level EE/CPE courses, excluding EE/CpE 491.
Crosslisted with: CPE 490
