(single of group) will be spread over two semesters. This project should provide a meaningful engineering design
experience and should draw on the cumulative technical background of the student. Students work with a team of two, or
at most, three – depending on the complexity of the project. On rare occasions students are allowed to work individually
on a project. Senior Designs I and II are presented twice a year (spring and , fall). Students are required to give oral 9
