Projects Overview
The two-semester Graduate Projects sequence includes:
The fundamental course objective of the TCP Graduate Projects sequence is
to teach students how to engineer a complex, inter/multidisciplinary design and
implementation problem in a group environment. Graduate Projects focuses on the
synthesis and application of the basic science, mathematics, engineering theory
and design skills. The course teaches basic knowledge in component and systems
engineering design and provides an introduction into test management and project
management, including financial responsibility.
Graduate Projects are intended to be sponsored activities and the
emphasis is upon: (1) application of skills to a relevant industry technical or
policy issue; and (2) on producing a usable product that meets sponsor
(customer) requirements.
