You will document the design process in a report that youll revise and add to throughout the
academic year. Youll also present your work regularly to a panel of outside customers, faculty
and staff members, and your peers in order to check your progress and offer additional guidance
along the way. The due dates for these reports and presentations are detailed in the syllabus.
Course Administration
You are scheduled for four class hours per week. One class hour will be a lecture for about half
of the 16 weeks in the first course. Each lecture will start with a review of the reading guide that
1 Trident, Bowman and other independent study projects must be approved by the department
chair as having sufficient design content if they are to count for the capstone design requirement.
2 This includes students who were candidates for the Bowman, Trident, VGEP, or SSA programs
but were not selected, as long as they plan to continue with the same project focus (although the
project scope might be adjusted with the help of the mentor to reflect the new circumstances).

Total Score (out of 100) ______
Develop at least two complete concepts for the design. The concept should be
developed to the extent that you can reasonably estimate the engineering
characteristics that would result from that choice. You should also include all
design concepts that your customer might reasonably expect to be considered.
For example, if the design choice you are considering is what you should use for a
portable power source, you would be expected to at least consider batteries and
solar arrays as possible options.
Predict how each of the design concepts would affect your engineering
characteristics. Be as quantitative as possible. If there are modeling tools available
that are applicable to your problem then you should make use of them. For
example, if you are considering different material choices for a transmission line,
you should model the structure in Sonnet, making reasonable approximations for
material parameters, in order to calculate how your material choices would affect
engineering characteristics such as insertion loss.
Select the best design concept for the design decision using your predictions for
the engineering characteristics. Use a weighted decision matrix for design
decisions that affect more than one engineering characteristic. Discuss the results
of the weighted decision matrix. If your gut and the decision matrix outcome
dont agree, find the source of the discrepancy you may have an error in your
estimation of performance, or a hidden requirement which should in fact be stated
and included in the analysis. Often students will make a design choice based on
the availability of a part. Rather than saying All my analysis leads me to want to
choose X, but instead Im choosing Y it is better to include project development
time and cost as engineering characteristics to be considered along with
performance characteristics. This will allow you to examine the trade-off
between development time and performance in your selection.
