UWF - Electrical and Computer Engineering

These are few examples of end-products of two-semester Capstone Design projects. EGN 4411L - Capstone Design II is the second phase of two sequence capstone course in the Electrical and Computer Engineering curriculum. In this course students integrate what they have learned in their courses and labs into building and testing an engineering paper-pencil type design completed in EGN 4410 - Capstone Design I. Students start working on their final projects as soon as they are cleared by the faculty in EGN4410. Students go through critical review for the feasibility of the end-product demonstration and meeting the production specifications including engineering standards and the constraints. Students must describe a set of realistic constraints during the design and implementation of the project such as economical, environmental, social, political, ethical, health, safety, manufacturability, sustainability and social impacts.
