CSCI 4368 - Multidisciplinary Design Project 1
Primary Instructor
-
Fall 2024
Design, develop, test, and deploy software that is integrated into a mechanical system. Participate as a member of a multi-disciplinary team that could include students from computer science, mechanical, and electrical disciplines. Develop project management and communication skills as they pertain to a multi-disciplinary team. Support the project team through self-directed study. First semester of a senior capstone course. Students must take this course and CSCI 4378 contiguously as the project spans the entire academic year. Department-enforced prerequisites differ for BS and BA degree. Contact academic advisor for details. Senior Capstone courses are optional for BA students. BA students interested in taking this course should contact their advisor(s) early in their major.
