Students of all engineering disciplines will

choose to join the Enterprise Program (typically in the second year)

or

choose to complete a 6-credit, 2-semester Senior Design Project in their final year.

Both options are intended to provide students with an opportunity to further develop their teamwork and communication skills by working with a team of students to apply their technical skills and knowledge on an unstructured "real-world" engineering problem.

Students selecting the Senior Design option will work within their major department as part of a team to solve an engineering problem of their choice.

The ideal Senior Design project would be one identified, sponsored and funded by industry.

Some examples of Senior Design Teams can be viewed:
