To illustrate the concepts, tolerances are large and variationsare readily apparent. Parts within each family have different amounts of variation from perfect;some are within specification and others are not, mirroring the “real world.” Page 10.1450.1A student’s task is to “build” CAD fixtures, to measure the variation in each part and compare itto the GD&T specifications.

Moreover, the students compared NOx emission from the gas turbine power plant with acoal-fired power plant of the same capacity to understand the impact of using clean natural gas. Another project is to design a 350MW wind farm. In this project, the students were giventhe power required so they only needed to choose the type and number of wind turbines toproduce 350 MW of electricity. Students made the assumptions on the parameters such as heightand wind conditions of the location, spacing between turbines, power coefficient, andefficiencies of the transmission and generation. Based on these data, the students chose 2 MWBonus turbine with a design wind speed of 12 m/s. The total

This paperdescribes the evolution of the integrative senior design course in the Electrical EngineeringProgram at the United States Military Academy (USMA). In the early 1980’s the senior designproject in the Electrical Engineering Program at USMA was an individual project completed atthe end of the final electronics course. The design project has since evolved into a two-semesterdesign course with interdisciplinary group projects. Throughout the two-semester course,students work with a dedicated faculty advisor to develop a written project proposal, several in-progress reviews, a prototype demonstration, and a final report.
