• ECE 3992: Pre-Thesis/Clinic/Proj

  3.00 Credits

  University of Utah

  
  This is the first course in a 2 or 3 semester series. The purpose of this course is to form teams and propose either a self-selected senior project to be completed in CS/ECE 4710, or an ECE clinic which will be completed in the subsequent 2 semesters. The individual option is to find a thesis advisor, and write a thesis proposal. The thesis work will be in CS/ECE 4991 and 4992. During the first half of the course while teams are being formed and while project ideas are being selected the instructor will lecture on the, fundamentals of project planning: scoping, group selection, risk assessment, scheduling, backup planning, strategy, etc. The second half of the course involves student presentations and critique of the written proposals that are in progress. The final result of the course will be an approved project, clinic, or thesis proposal. Prerequisites: "C-" or better in ((CS 3710 OR ECE 3710) AND (CS 3991 OR ECE 3991)) AND Full Major status in (Electrical Engineering OR Computer Engineering). Corequisites: "C-" or better in ECE 5780.

• ECE 4710: Comptr Eng Sr Project

  3.00 Credits

  University of Utah

  
  This is the capstone team project course for Computer Engineering majors who do not choose to do a thesis or an ECE clinic. The CS/ECE 3992 teams remain intact and the goal is too build and demonstrate the project that was proposed and approved in CS/ECE 3992. Students in this class do not meet in a classroom setting. Each team will meet with the instructor once each week for approximately 1 hour to discuss progress and/or problems as well as demonstrate scheduled milestone results. At the end of the term students are expected to demonstrate their entire operational project to an open house crowd of interested faculty and students. Friends and family are also welcome to attend. A final written report is also turned in which documents the details of all aspects of the project. Prerequisites: "C-" or better in (CS 3992 OR ECE 3992) AND (CS 5780 OR ECE 5780) AND (Full Major Status in Electrical Engineering OR Computer Engineering).
