reviewed and approved. Initial designs will be completed and corresponding
constraints will be determined. All students will participate in a public
oral presentation following departmental approved guidelines at a departmental
approved time and location. Teams will also submit a written end of semester
progress report and documented team communication (complete sets of weekly
reports and/or log books) following guidelines approved by the faculty.
