B.S. Computer Engineering Degree Requirements

Sample Senior Design Projects

All engineering seniors participate in a year-long team project that combines a real project with a diverse group of experienced professionals. No two projects are alike! Below are sample projects from recent years.

Metallic Seal Stretch-Former

Sponsor: Jetseal
Challenge: Create a semi-automated machine to form non-circular metal seals repeatedly, needed for aerospace and nuclear industries.
Design: Prototype is driven by a stepper motor with a lead screw on an aluminum track frame. It is controlled through a Raspberry Pi and Programmable Logic Controller (PLC).

Inclinometer & Speed Sensor Suite

Sponsor: Orebaugh Eng. Ltd.
Challenge: Combine a speedometer and inclinometer to trigger an LED.
Design: A circuit board implements a sensor suite controlled by a microcontroller in an ultra-low cost and portable design. A 9 degree-of-freedom inertial measurement unit sets the orientation; a GPS module communicates with a microcontroller to control the LED.
