EE195 Senior Project
Scheduled on Tue/Thr  2:00 - 3:15pm at Votey Room 361 (2-4 credits)


1. Description
This course is designed for senior students to learn planning, executing, testing, and reporting on their projects.  This gives a useful opportunity to learn project management, professional ethics, social/economic impact, and contemporary issues that arise in engineering practice.  Also this course could expand into interdisciplinary project development including project selection, design requirements, prototyping and communications.  The students will ve expected to continue the on-going project in Fall 2003 EE187 Senoir Project, and to complete the project.  The priori-EE187 and EE195 courses provide cumulative, team-based interdisciplinary design experience, subsystem design, implementation and test, project demonstration, report and presentation.
