Technical communication skills are also a focus of this course. During the final weeks, students begin to organize their capstone projects.  400-level course – “Senior Capstone Design” will be offered in three different forms: Corporate-sponsored projects, Projects with faculty and Special Topics sections.This sequence of design courses was approved by the Electrical Engineering Departmentfaculty in 2010 and by the University Faculty Senate in early 2012.
