ECEN 403 and 404 are part of an industry-sponsored program which is an introduction to the design process and project engineering as practiced in industry. Student teams apply the design process by developing a project proposed by industry sponsors through test and evaluation.

• Mentored 15+ capstone teams comprising 60 students per semester across embedded, ML, and robotics projects; led design reviews and milestone planning.
• Created debugging playbooks and hands-on labs for ROS, microcontrollers, and CI; unblocked teams on software–hardware integration issues.
• Designed and maintained the course site (Python/HTML/CSS/JS) and automated student–project mapping aligned to each project description based on resume.

ECEN 403

Application of design process and project engineering as practiced in industry; team approach to the design process; development of a project proposal; documentation of the proposal, implementation and project; development of execution and validation plan; project execution will begin in ECEN 403 and continue through to ECEN 404.

ECEN 404

Continuation of ECEN 403; application of the design process and project engineering as practiced in industry; team approach to the design process; completion of project based on proposal from ECEN 403; includes testing, evaluation and report writing.
