1. Course Number and Title: CSE499A/EEE499A/ETE499A – Senior Design I

2. Number of Credits: 1.5

3. Type: Required, Engineering, Lab

4. Prerequisites: Completion of at least 100 credit hours including all the

major core courses, math and science courses, Ethics,
Language and Communication related courses.

5. Contact Hours: 3 hours/week

6. Course Summary: This is a senior level course, after a student has completed all the
required major core courses, core math, and core science courses. This "capstone design
course" involves multidisciplinary teams of students who build and test custom designed
systems, components or engineering processes. Design projects selected from problems
submitted by the students, faculty and local industry; Industry projects are given
preference as they are best suited for meeting the course objectives; Instructional phase
includes (not limited to): communications, report writing, visual aids, design process
(requirements/specifications/objections, synthesis/analysis, design evaluation,
implementation, maintainability, manufacturability, economic and social influences etc.),
proposal preparation, estimating, project management and scheduling, contracts etc.;
Performance phase includes (not limited to): design team formation and organization,
design proposals, implementation of design process, project scheduling and management,
design reviews, design simulation and testing, preparation of documentation, drawings,
specifications, etc., written and oral presentation of completed projects.

7. Course Objectives: The objective of this course are to

a. identify an engineering and/or computing problem, build appropriate strategy to
solve the problem in a systematic way with given constraints of resources, budget,
time etc.
b. design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic
constraints
c. use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering
practice.
d. identify the usability, manufacturability, and sustainability of a system/subsystem
that is going to be developed under the project
e. creat an environment to work effectively in a group on multidisciplinary project to
accomplish a common goal
 f. identify and validate the impact of economic, environmental, social, political,
ethical, health and safety considerations and constraints in the project
development phases.
g. demonstrate engineering/computing project development phases through various
written reports such as project proposal, time-line chart, requirement analysis
report, design reports, final reports, etc.
h. demonstrate an understanding of ethical and professional responsibility in a
project development phases
