Description
The first of a two course senior capstone design sequence. Various design topics may be discussed including equipment design, the design of process systems, and economics. Student teams select a project which may involve company sponsorship, and proceed through the design methodology introduced in earlier design classes. Every project has a 'customer' which requires the generation of a customer spec. During the sequence students provide detailed schedules for building a prototype system or designing a process and present weekly progress reports. They also produce technical specifications, undergo a preliminary design review (PDR), and build a working prototype system if appropriate. Prerequisite: EGR 302 or 352; Concurrent Requisite: EGR 403. (3 units; Fall)
