Student-consultant groups will address an open-ended engineering design problem your organization faces under the guidance of a faculty member with specific expertise in the problem area. 

Phase 1 – Project Plan: Students will meet with organization representative(s) to devise the project scope and prepare a detailed plan for completion of the project.

Phase 2 – Project Execution: Students will work on deliverables outlined in the project plan. Teams will periodically communicate with organization representative(s) as needed to complete project tasks.

Organization representatives will participate and provide feedback to students, their faculty advisor, and the course instructor in structured design review meetings in both Spring 2020 and Winter 2021:

Spring 2019

• Midterm design review (mid-June 2020)
• End-of-term design review (end of July 2020)

Winter 2020

• Beginning-of-term update and plan (mid-January 2021)
• End-of-term design review (mid-March 2021)
