Capstone Design Project I

Course Description

Prerequisite: DEN 308; DEN 417; DEN 420; DEN 423; DEN 426; DEN 429; DEN 320; DEN 320L; DEN 440 and satisfactory completion of other requirements for the major as specified by the Academic Program Director This is the first course in a three-course sequence. Students will work in teams and conduct research leading to preliminary development of a project product, with an emphasis on hardware/software and hardware/software systems. Students apply the knowledge and skills gained from all or most of their Manufacturing Design Engineering courses to develop a real-world manufacturing design engineering product, significant product component, or system. During this first of three capstone courses, student teams develop a detailed project proposal, provide a detailed schedule for project completion including team members assigned to specific tasks, consider seeking patents on one or more aspects of their project (if applicable), and present the proposed project for approval by faculty to proceed. Students research a set of realistic constraints during the design and implementation of their project, including time constraints as well as economic, social, political, and ethical impacts. It is important to note that capstone course sequence DEN495A, DEN495B, and DEN495C needs to be taken in consecutive months. In case a student is not able to complete this course sequence in consecutive months, they may be required to start with the DEN495A course in the future, whenever this course sequence is offered.
