Proposals can be submitted by students, institute or industry. The deadline for submission is First of September for Fall
semesters, and First of February for Spring one.
Each project will be completed under the supervision of one or more department
or college staff members with expertise in the project area. Each student team will normally consist of seven to ten engineering
seniors.
Instructor evaluations of capstone design projects provide supporting information for assessing student outcomes.
All students take the communication engineering capstone design course (ELE 491 - ELE 492).
This course requires students
to work in teams on an in-depth design project, culminating in a final report and presentation.
Additional student materials include periodic activity reports, a formal project proposal, and an interim report and presentation.
The semester-long activity is documented in a project portfolio and design prototypes.
1. Project can be completed during two semesters (ONE academic year.)
2. Project must meet ABET design criteria :
1. Proposer's name, address, phone number and affiliation.
2. Choice of faculty advisor if known.
3. Number of students desired and student design team choice if known.
4. Type of analysis that project may involve such as (Department specialties).
5. State tentative project name followed by a description of the project not more than one page in length.
6. If the project is from industry please state what your company is willing to donate to the project to offset student travel,
duplication expenses, etc. Estimated Budget accepted by the institution.
The proposals will be reviewed and confirmed by the department. Students will be assigned to selected projects early at 30th September.
1. The project covers design and implementation, including either prototypes or simulations.
2. The project includes a problem statement, evaluation of design alternatives, and a final solution.
3. The project methodology and analysis includes both theoretical and implementation parts.
4. The project leads to a final product that is compatible with the design.
5. The project idea is innovative and demonstrates creativity.
6. The project satisfies economic, environmental, and social sustainability.
7. The project should demonstrate the skills of the team by applying knowledge gained from previous courses.
8. The project includes and meets realistic design constraints.
9. The design(s) conform to the applicable standards.
10. The quality of the final report, in terms of its content, organization, and presentation.
Course instructor and project mentor.
