The four courses span the scope of electrical engineering and are notdesigned to be an introduction of various tracks for people keen on majoring in that track.

They serve a key role in teaching students aboutdesign, recruiting new engineers, and maintaining accreditation. They represent an opportunityfor the students to transition from coursework to successfully executing a practical designproject. This transition is quite useful for graduating students who will be entering theworkforce.However, the senior level capstone experience leaves many educational opportunitiesunaddressed or undeveloped.
