Abstract

A Junior Level EE Projects Course with ABET RubricsAll electrical and computer engineering majors at the University of ___________ are required tocomplete EE 380, a 2-hour projects course at the end of the junior year, prior to enrolling in thesenior project sequence. This course requires that all students complete four open-endedprojects, one of which must be a team project. The team project is typically completed by all ofthe students in the class in teams of 2 or 3 students each. The remaining three projects must bedone on an individual basis and can be chosen from a list of projects in three different areas suchas electronics, linear systems, digital systems, electromagnetics, software, etc.EE 380 meets once a week in a session where the instructor provides guidance and coordinatesthe course. The instructor is also available in the lab at arranged times to provide one-on-oneassistance with a project.Students keep a notebook of their work on the projects and turn in a formal report documentingthe project. Students must also do a demonstration of the final project to the instructor. As it isstructured this course provides a mechanism to assess ABET outcomes b, d, e, and h. In thispaper, we present the logistics of the course, a sample of projects completed, and the courseassessment for ABET outcomes.
