” a degree was introduced in the 1900’s andbecame a stable part of the engineering curriculum in the late 1900’s to early 2000’s. TheElectrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) Department at the Missouri University of Scienceand Technology (formerly known as the University of Missouri – Rolla) made Senior Design apart of the curricula in 1995. The key ingredient to the ECE senior design course was giving thestudents the chance to select their own teams and projects. The wide variation in team abilitiesand project scope made it necessary to evaluate the students on following process and proceduresand not on the successful completion of the project. This grading method has led to some veryambitious projects that were doomed to failure yet taught
