This course contributes a capstone design experience in computer engineering. Typically it would require the student to build on the aggregated knowledge gained in previous years, designing their own experiments, and developing their own test cases. Students will have design experience involving hardware and/or software systems to meet the desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environment, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability. Use of skills in design tools and practices, integration, test plans, implementation, experimental validation, maintenance, functional teaming, oral and written technical communication.
