OVERVIEW
     
-
CE "Capstone" Projects
(CS 189 and ECE 189)
The Computer Engineering Capstone project gives CE students the opportunity to put their education into practice. Students, working in small teams, design and engineer innovative hardware and software systems using techniques from robotics, circuits design, communications and wireless networking, and real-time systems.
   
- EE "Capstone" Projects
(ECE 188)
Student groups design a significant project based on the knowledge and skills acquired in earlier coursework and integrate their technical knowledge through a practical design experience.
     
-
LITE Program Projects
The LITE Program (Leadership in Team Engineering) is a program that believes to successfully educate leaders there must be a focus on several fronts: hands-on experience, enthusiasm for collaboration, and problem solving skills. By partnering with leading community organizations to identify challenging projects, the program provides students the opportunity to hone these skills.
     
-
Presentation Day
The students will participate in a poster session and conduct presentations of their final group projects from the CS 189, ECE 189, ECE 188 courses and the LITE Program.
