ENGR 4941U – Capstone Systems Design for Electrical, Computer and Software Engineering II

This capstone design engineering course constitutes the second part (continuation) of a two-term capstone design endeavour which started in the fall term through Capstone Systems Design for Electrical, Computer and Software Engineering I course. These two consecutive capstone design courses (Capstone Systems Design for Electrical, Computer and Software Engineering I and Capstone Systems Design for Electrical, Computer and Software Engineering II) represent a critical mandatory component of the CEAB (Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board) accredited engineering degree. They provide a culminating capstone design engineering experience that integrates aspects of many prior engineering courses taken by the enrolled students. This second part of a two-part graduating year capstone design course is envisioned to represent a culminating major teamwork design experience for engineering students specializing in the areas of electrical and software engineering. It is meant to allow senior-level students to integrate their engineering knowledge and produce useful engineering artifacts. During this winter term, the students will continue to work in the same small groups that were created during the previous fall term. By the end of this course students will have completed the entire design process for their projects including the following tasks: Design Refinements based on findings from Proof-of-Concept Prototype; Detailed Design and Engineering Analysis; Test Plan; Test Results and Product Validation; Final Project Presentation; Final Project Report; and Prototype System Demonstration.
