In the senior design course that covers the whole senior year (two semesters), students are expected to put into use their knowledge on engineering problem solving and solve complex, open-ended problems that are relevant to the industry. Students work in teams to attack engineering design projects that are under multiple constraints as they are in real life. These restraints can be economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, and health- related, and strongly related to manufacturability, sustainability, and other relevant factors. Prerequisites: MSE 402 and MSE 407. MSE 409/L and MSE 412/L for MSE majors. Passing score on the Upper Division Writing Proficiency Exam. Note: MSE 488A and MSE 488BCS must be completed during the same academic year.

By the end of the term, students should have attained / improved their skills and knowledge in: - Founding a project using the skills they learned in previous classes, with economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, and health-related constraints Developing a project plan to be followed Utilizing appropriate equipment and software in performing the project work Being resourceful in gathering information necessary to complete the design project Functioning effectively on a design team Communicating with their peers as teammates as well as their superiors as their advisors Writing effective project reports and progress reports that communicate the work performed Delivering oral presentations of work performed Demonstrating ability to utilize program-related knowledge in an open-ended professional design experience Developing a prototype/ prototypes within economic constraints and a compressed project schedule, and projecting the actual manufacturing of the product via considerations of economies of scale
