Welcome to MEEG 401, Senior Design (click here for first week guidelines)

MEEG401 is a six-credit required undergraduate course: capstone engineering practice where teams develop real engineering system designs; discover customer requirements; benchmark best practices; develop engineering specifications; generate concepts; and justify aspecific concept. Design, fabricate, assemble, test and improve an actual prototype.

The syllabus is conveyed in these webpages: important dates are on the calendar and the high-level structure is conveyed in the course logistics.

2009 Alignment and 2009 Sponsor Contact information is now available; class email has direct links.

The Senior-Design Class, MEEG401, at the University of Delaware, is executed in four phases:

  • Phase 1 - Design Requirements and Project Scope,
  • Phase 2 - Concept Selection and Project Plan,
  • Phase 3 - Detailed Design, and
  • Phase 4 - Performance Validation.

Figure 1 depicts these fundamental components, along with some of the characteristics of each phase.
