EECE 403: Capstone Project III

Electrical & Computer Engineer · 3 credits · Electrical&ComputerEngineering

This course is the third part of the capstone project sequence for electrical and computer engineering students. The engineering design project selected in EECE 401 is defined through system requirements that include realistic constraints. A solution is produced and verified to determine the extent to which the requirements are met.

Offered in 4 of the 26 listed terms (Winter 2024 to Winter 2027).
