TE 4388 Senior Design Project
I (3 semester hours)
First of two sequential semesters devoted to a team project that engages
students in the full engineering design process. The goad of senior
design projects is to prepare the student to run/participate in engineering
projects related to an appropriate industry. Thus, all project teams
are to follow standard industrial practices and methods. Teams must
carry the engineering project to completion, examining real world constraints,
following applicable industrial and business standards. Such constraints
may include but are not limited to: economic, environmental, industrial
standards, team time/resource management and cross-disciplinary/departmental
result integration. Students are encouraged to work in teams that include
collaborative design interaction, but may work on individual projects
as well, provided there is a collaboration component. Additionally,
cross disciplinary/departmental teams are encouraged but not required.
In Senior Design I, project proposals will be written, 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. Students must have completed ECS 3390 and one of the
following prerequisite sequences: (CE 3311, CE 3320, CE 3346, and CE
3354), or (EE 3300, EE 3302, EE 3311, and EE 3320), or (TE 3300. TE
3302, and TE 3346; pre- or corequisite EE 3350). (Same as CE/EE 4388)

the Senior Design project begun in the previous semester. In Senior
Design II, projects based on approved project proposals will be completed.

students will participate in a public oral presentation following faculty-approved
guidelines at a faculty-approved time and location. Teams will also
