| WELCOME | Welcome to ENGR 4412/4422, or (as I prefer to call it) "Real World Engineering 1 and 2 for Future Engineers". I am not kidding. If I do my job, after these courses you should come away with the feeling that what was done prepared you for as a job as an engineer. |

| DESCRIPTION | The purpose the Senior Engineering Design course sequence is
to immerse senior engineering physics and biomedical engineering
students in the design
process through work on a team chosen to solve a real problem.
While there will be a few formal lectures, the following topics will be
demonstrated through practical example:
The
Senior Design Engineering Design course is
NOT a paper exercise. All problems must have a significant design
component, must require knowledge from the students’ disciplines to
complete, and usually require actually building or fabricating a
device, apparatus, system, process, etc. The students are
allowed to
seek help from any and all sources and are encouraged to consider
multiple
designs before selecting and pursuing an approach. |

| CONTACTING INSTRUCTOR |
My email address is wwilson@ucok.edu.
You can telephone me at my office at 974-5470. My telephone has voice
mail, but I am not very good at checking it regularly so it is probably
better to contact me by email which I do check regularly My official office hours: MWF, 2:00-2:50 PM and T, 10:00-10:50 PM in my office (Howell Hall 221H). Other times by mutual arrangement (email or telephone to arrange). Official hours are as listed above, but I am usually around from 9-4 each day during the week whenever I am not teaching class or at other scheduled meetings. Please feel free to come by any time especially if you want to talk about physics or school. I would ask you, however, to avoid the hour just before I teach a class if at all possible. Take your chances and drop by unannounced or telephone or email to arrange. |
| Materials
and Forms |
The official course syllabus is
given here. Projects for the Senior Design course must be approved by an advisor and by the Senior Design Coordinators of the student team members' programs. The criteria for approval are described in the Project Guidelines document. The Read Me First document provides an overview of the senior design courses, and general information to orient students to design project procedures. To start a project each student must complete and have all the appropriate signatures on the Project Initiation form. The various phase of the project require Project Sponser signatures and approvals on the Project Approval form. The format and content of both the Design Proposal Report and the the Final Project Report are given in the Report Elements document. A weekly report is required of all students in the course using the Weekly Report form. All supplies and equipment purchases for Project must be requested using the Project Purchase Request form. An Excel Template for making a Gantt Chart is provided as a starting point: Excel Gantt Chart Template. Some general guidelines for posters are given in the Poster Guidelines document. Some sample poster templates that can be used as a starting point for poster development: Poster Template #1, Poster Template #2, Poster Template #3, Poster Template #4, Poster Template #5. Poster Template #6. |
