Abstract

Abstract The purpose of capstone design project courses is to provide graduating senior students the opportunity to demonstrate understanding of the concepts they have learned during their studies. As with many computer science and engineering programs, students of the electrical engineering program at Utah Valley University (UVU) conclude their degree programs with a two-semester capstone design experience. The intent is for students to utilize competencies developed in the first three years of the curriculum in the solution of a complex design problem. This paper will elaborate the detail content of the curriculum for our new electrical engineering program as well as the two-semester long capstone design courses. The paper also presents the primary experiences of teaching capstone I and II to our electrical engineering students. The description of these courses is first given, including course contents, learning outcomes and instruction approach.
