2 creditsUndergraduateStudent Option

Students work in teams to develop a template for a significant engineering project and document their collaborative process. Over the course of 10 weeks, students work together to design, develop, and iterate on the proposed prototype to showcase specified technical and professional engineering skills. In parallel, teams experientially learn and practice teamwork, project management, and professional communication skills. Project topics are based on approval through application only. Enrollment is restricted to juniors and seniors, and by permission of the instructor only.
