Senior design provides a capstone experience for all graduating seniors where they put the skills they've developed to use to produce a product. These projects are cover a wide variety of engineering disciplines and often require collaboration with other departments. This two-semester course constitutes the culmination of four years of engineering education. Some of the skills acquired by students fall in the traditional areas of Electrical Engineering: Communications, electronics, programming, electromagnetics, etc. However, there also some skills, not necessarily technical in nature, that are required to have a successful career. These include: team management, problem solving, project planning and control, and writing skills. It is assumed that a graduating engineer will have mastered all the skills within the traditional disciplines. The purpose of the Senior Design Project is to pull them all together and apply them towards the design and implementation of a 'product', and to afford the students an opportunity to experience team-based design under conditions that closely resemble those that will be encountered in industry. An important goal of this course is to expose students to a 'hands-on' experience in which they have to specify, design, and produce a full-system beginning from relatively ill-posed needs as stated by a 'customer'. This objective has to be accomplished while working as a team, and under time pressure.
