ELE-700/800 - Engineering Design Project (EDP)

ELE 800 provides a significant opportunity for engineering design in a self-directed learning environment in contrast to the structured learning normally provided by organized lectures and programmed laboratory experiments.

In the process of achieving this objective the student will be required to:

(a) Continue the design and implementation work on the engineering design project undertaken in ELE700, the prerequisite engineering design course.

(b) Source and select from libraries, the Web, faculty or industrial contacts, the information required for the design, and working prototype implementation.

(c) Produce an acceptable, practical embodiment that in most instances will be a working engineering prototype. Measure its performance and make observations and recommendations that will be fully fleshed out and documented in the required formal EDP report. This report may form the basis of an oral examination.

(d) Submit a formal EDP report for evaluation no later than the published due date contained herein.

(e) Present and discuss the project to the peers and the public by participating in an afternoon to evening Open House in May 2003.
