ECE Senior Honors Project (H) |
4 cr |
|
| Under
the advice and guidance of a faculty mentor, honors
students will identify and carry out a research/design
project, relevant to the field of EE/CpE study,
which will lead to a formal presentation at the
annual Honors Student Colloquium. The senior project
will be judged and graded by three faculty chaired
by the honors mentor. This course is required
for Honors recognition. Prerequisites: EE 268,
EE 334, EE 301, and
an approved project prospectus. Fee. |
