Near the end of theterm, each student presents (defends) his/her work through an online seminar to other students andfaculty. Each student's capstone project is assessed for integrative learning of the functional areas ofelectrical engineering technology, mastery of the science and technology fundamentals, experimentation,oral and written technical presentations, engineering ethics in design and practice, self-directed learning,and continuous improvement.Through this capstone project experience, the student outcomes are geared to:  Work in a team, brainstorm, research, identify, and
