The ELEC 499 Design Project challenges the the student's ability to incorporate all his or her past learning, acquired in earlier course work, into a significant technical design project. Ideas for the project can come from faculty members, students, or external sources. Over the years the projects have varied and included developing a bike alarm system, amateur radio and underwater 3-D imaging system. Multi-disciplinary projects are strongly encouraged.
