  • ENGR 4940U – Capstone Systems Design for Electrical, Computer and Software Engineering I

    This final year capstone design engineering course culminates a major design experience for ECSE students. It allows students to integrate their engineering knowledge and produce useful engineering artifacts. The course exposes students to successfully implement the engineering design process and appropriate engineering design methods into creatively solving design problems conditioned with realistic constraints while using state-of-the-art engineering tools and incorporating engineering standards with a focus on economic, environmental, sustainability, manufacturability, ethical, health and safety, and socio-political considerations. Yet another objective of the course is to focus on improving the students’ soft skills that include the ability to work in teams, participate in project planning and scheduling, give presentations, and be able to deal with uncertainties in a professional manner. This design-built project based course normally includes studying open-ended engineering design topics. These may consist of real-world design projects proposed and sponsored by industrial partners, or design projects on topics proposed by Faculty Advisors, or topics proposed by a group of enrolled students. In this context, the engineering design process will be reviewed along with its application to the design of the said systems. By the end of this course students will have completed the following parts of the design process for their projects: Customer Requirements; Background Search; Design Plan and Project Management; Brainstorming; Preliminary Concept Generation; Sketching Ideas; Engineering Specifications (Benchmarking); Detailed Concept Generation; Functional Decomposition; Concept Development and Screening/Selection; Group Preliminary Proof of Concept Prototype Demonstrations and Oral Presentations; and Final Engineering Term Report.
