B.S. Electrical 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.

Concert for the Deaf

Challenge: Give the deaf and hard-of-hearing a more-valuable experience at concerts by creating devices which attach to musical instruments and respond to the music with a visual display.
Design: Devices pick up frequencies and respond with lights; brightness levels respond to the instrument's volume levels.

Helical Antenna Array Feed Network

Sponsor: Gonzaga SARL
Challenge: Improve helical antenna array, creating a better communications system.
Design: Use Ansys HFSS on a double-layer PCB that connects to the helical antenna array.
Tested in-house using the LPKF U4 Protolaser and the SARL full-anechoic chamber.
