Description:

Senior Design II continues the process of designing, building and testing your project. The emphasis will be on demonstrating that your design meets its design requirements. More than half of your grade is based on the progress of your "hardware" demonstration (or equivalent). The organization of the class parallels that of Senior Design I closely.

Schedule:

Please note that the dates below are fixed since they have been arranged to optimize a number of constraints. You need to adjust your schedules, including job interviews and site visits, accordingly.
