Project Requirements

Electrical Engineering Senior Design is a two-semester capstone course at the University of Notre Dame geared toward giving students hands-on experience with general electrical engineering skills. Teams of 4-5 students work together to build a functional prototype which is demonstrated to students and faculty at the end of the school year. During the first semester of the course, class meets twice a week and focuses on the design process, forming teams, and choosing a project idea. The second semester focuses on constructing the prototype and demonstrating its functionality. There are no classes second semester, but teams are expected to hold weekly meetings and work toward the completion of their prototype. Teams have various deadlines along the way which require certain subsystems to be completed. A detailed final report is due at the end of the semester.
