ELECTENG 7970 Capstone Design Project 3 Credits

Students will draw upon and synthesize knowledge and skills learned throughout the program by applying it to an industry-sponsored project. Capstone work (minimum 150 hours) will be completed in partnership with industry and academic mentor/supervisors. A substantive work project deliverable demonstrating summative application of coursework taken in the program will be expected. The project is expected to be completed in the student's last semesters in residence. Three credits can be taken in a single semester. Can be repeated but only a total of six credits can be applied to degree completion. (Contact advisor for prior approval and registration instructions)
