Undergraduate Senior Design

Materials Science and Engineering

The Senior Design Project is the capstone of the undergraduate Materials Science and Engineering program. It consists of a 6-unit engineering design project that takes place over two consecutive semesters. The aim of the project is to give the student the opportunity to experience the engineering design process in the context of a topic related to the Materials Science and Engineering curriculum while working in a less structured environment. The projects can be undertaken individually or in small teams.

Engineering Physics

The Senior Design Project is the capstone of the Engineering Physics program. It consists of a 6-unit engineering design project that takes place over two consecutive semesters, usually the Fall and Spring Semester of the senior year. The aim of the project is to give the student the opportunity to experience the engineering design process in the context of a topic related to the Engineering Physics curriculum while working in a less structured environment. The projects can be undertaken individually or in small interdisciplinary teams. In the latter case the Engineering Physics student must still fulfill the requirements described below. The Academic Supervisor must be a member of the Electrical Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering or Physics Faculty. The Engineering Physics Program cannot provide funds for costs incurred in the project.
