systems software, requirements, testing andindividual software process. During their time in the lab, students simultaneously take courses insoftware architecture and formal methods.After completing the software development lab sequence, students also work in teams on a two-quarter capstone senior design project, which may be multidisciplinary in nature.1 The course numbers are based on version 2.0 of the curriculum.3. Background Information on the CourseAs mentioned earlier, a course on Software Requirements and Specification was first developedand during the 2000-2001 winter quarter [8]. Since then the course has continued to evolve. Sincethe first offering people working on real-world projects outside of the SE curriculum context haveacted

Senior Design Project Delivery via Student Generated Web Sites - "Lessons Learned" Charles McIntyre and Hung Nguyen North Dakota State UniversityIntroductionIn traditional “project-based” courses (senior level design and capstone courses), the finalproducts are typically paper-based reports and plans (CAD drawings) which include informationrelated to the design and construction aspects of the project. On occasion, the final projects aresubmitted in some form of electronic format (CD, zip, etc.) [2,5]. Currently, many engineering andconstruction firms post project information on company or project specific web sites. In order toprovide students with the “real world” experience

• Politics.Accordingly, the College of Science and Engineering at UMD has developed the course “Engr4001: Engineering Professionalism,” to address the relationship between these topics andengineering practice. This course will not focus on issues that are traditional, technicalengineering topics, but instead will explore the “soft side” of engineering as it relates to thesocial issues listed above.Engr 4001 will be a design oriented class, required as a pre- or co-requisite for capstone designcourses in all engineering programs at UMD. It will bring together junior and senior studentsfrom Chemical, Industrial, Mechanical, and Electrical and Computer Engineering programs towork together in a multidisciplinary setting to solve design problems and to learn

design ofthe control system is presented in detail with particular emphasis on the event-driven programstructure.IntroductionThis paper describes a capstone electrical engineering technology (EET) senior projectaccomplished as a joint effort between the Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW) and theMilwaukee School of Engineering. The project was funded by grants from the NationalInstitutes of Health. The two-quarter project consists of an independent study to form abackground into the methods and hardware involved in EPR systems, with a second quarterdevoted to software development of the actual control system.The goal of the project is to provide control capability by way of a LabVIEW virtual instrumentutilizing GPIB connectivity.
