This requirement provides students with the opportunity for some hands-on experience. Each student must complete at least one of the approved Capstone Design courses. The Capstone Design courses are intended to enhance the student's repertoire of professional problem-solving and engineering design skills in the context of realistic engineering situations.
In the Capstone Design courses, students work in teams to formulate the problem, propose an engineering solution or a design in the presence of technical and socioeconomic constraints, and make sound professional judgments among alternative solutions.
One course from the following list must be taken (12 units):
