EG 494. Engineering Capstone I. (1 Credit)

This is the first course in a two-course sequence in which student teams use knowledge and skills acquired in earlier coursework to identify, plan, propose, execute, and complete a complex engineering problem using appropriate engineering standards and with multiple constraints. In this first course, students will form teams, identify the project/problem, develop a project scope, and present the proposal. Prerequisites: At least 35 hours of EG course credits including EG 390 and EG 302.

Course Fees: $60

EG 495. Engineering Capstone II. (3 Credits)

This is the second course in a two-course sequence in which student teams use knowledge and skills acquired in earlier coursework to identify, plan, propose, execute, and complete a complex engineering problem using appropriate engineering standards and with multiple constraints. In this second course, students will continue the work begun in EG 494 in the same teams, implement the project solution, write reports, and present the final completed project details. Prerequisite: EG 494.
