Faculty Meeting – May 12,’08 EE/TE/CE Senior Design
Why is Senior Design so Important for your
BS - EE / CE / TE Degrees?
It represents the “Open Design” Experience resulting
from 4 years of coursework
It is the ONLY class, where the students are completely
responsible for direction & content of their work
It is the ONLY class where students have direct
feedback from Industry
Projects are “Open Ended” – not cookbook/structured
Failures can happen – you need to overcome these!
No Excuses! – You MUST deliver a solution (or repeat!)
It is your time to “show us what you have learned!”
EE Fundamentals Chart
Step 1: EE Faculty identified skills necessary for BS in EE
Step 2: Individual EE Faculty assigned/determined skills/knowledge for each class
Step 3: EE-IAB reviews to determine skills and knowledge appropriate
Step 4: EE Sub-Areas Assess Collectively (Digital Area reviewed, etc.)
(EE faculty have made 8-10 full passes on fundamentals chart in AY 06-07)

Faculty Meeting – May 12,’08 EE 4388 Senior Design 1
EE 4388 Senior Design Project I (3 semester hours) First of two sequential semesters
devoted to a team project that engages students in the full engineering design process. The goal
of senior design projects is to prepare the student to run/participate in engineering projects related
to an appropriate industry. Thus, all project teams are to follow standard industrial practices and
methods. Teams must carry the engineering project to completion, examining real world
constraints, following applicable industrial and business standards. Such constraints may include
but are not limited to: economic, environmental, industrial standards, team time/resource
management and cross-disciplinary/departmental result integration. (Students are encouraged to
work in teams that include collaborative design interaction, but may work on individual projects as
well, provided there is a collaboration component. Additionally, cross disciplinary/departmental
teams are encouraged but not required.) In Senior Design I, project proposals will be written,
reviewed and approved. Initial designs will be completed and corresponding constraints will be
determined. All students will participate in a public oral presentation following departmental
approved guidelines at a departmental approved time and location. Teams will also submit a
written end of semester progress report and documented team communication (complete sets of
weekly reports and/or log books) following guidelines approved by the faculty. Students must have
completed ECS 3390 and one of the following prerequisite sequences: (CE 3311, CE 3320, CE
3346, and CE 3354), or (EE 3300, EE 3302, EE 3311, and EE 3320), or (EE 3300, TE 3302, and
TE 3346; pre- or corequisite EE 3350). (Same as CE/TE 4388) (3-0) S

EE 4389 Senior Design Project II (3 semester hours) Continuation of the Senior
Design project begun in the previous semester. In Senior Design II, projects based on
approved project proposals will be completed. All limitations of the design will be
determined and addressed. All students will participate in a public oral presentation
following faculty-approved guidelines at a faculty-approved time and location. Teams
will also submit a written final report and documented team communication (complete
sets of weekly reports and/or log books) following faculty-approved guidelines.

Smart Walking Stick for the Visually Impaired
GOALS: 1. Navigation around obstacles 2. Indoor navigation through RFID 3. Outdoor emergency position broadcast
4. Alert others of users’ presence
• SONAR Navigation: Detects proximity and depth, alerts via vibration in handle. •GPS Locator System: Relays the co-ordinates of the user to an email address. •RFID Indoor Navigation: Uses Breadth First Search based algorithm to navigate e.g. entrance to rest-room. •LED Warning System: LEDs flash in low light conditions. •Audio Warning System: Speaker beeps when activated

What is the format
• Kickoff meeting: Students are presented with the
problem at the kickoff meeting. Objectives and
deliverables are discussed in detail with the
students (and the faculty mentor) in detail at the
kickoff meeting
• Students prepare a written document (project
proposal) that includes:
1. Problem definition
2. Proposed solution approach
3. Project deliverables
4. Timeline for the solution
5. Budget
What is the format (2)
• Students prepare a project abstract and send it to
Marco Tacca: mtacca@utdallas.edu (by the first
week of October
• Students implement the solution
• Students prepare a final written report
• Students deliver a final project presentation to the
sponsoring company
• Students prepare for senior design day (due to
possible NDA constraints, the sponsor must clear
both the slide and the poster before it is presented
to the public)
Intellectual Property (IP)
• Students & faculty mentor sign one-way NDAs
• Students sign IP agreement • Any incidental IP resulting fro the
project belongs entirely to the sponsoring company

Faculty Meeting – May 12,’08
Project Outcome Grading
Project objective should be CLEARLY spelled out in the project
proposal, for example the proposal should have a section that specifies:
If the project achieves MEASURABLE feature set A (the way the
measurement is performed should be clearly indicated) -> 80 points
If the project does not achieve MEASURABLE feature set A, but
reaches MEASURABLE set B -> 70 points
If the project does not achieve MEASURABLE feature set A, nor set
B, but reaches MEASURABLE set C -> 60 points
If the project does not achieve MEASURABLE feature set A, nor set
B, nor set C, but reaches MEASURABLE set D -> 50 points
If the project does not achieve MEASURABLE feature set A, nor set
B, nor C, nor D but reaches MEASURABLE set F -> 40 points
The instructor MUST approve the proposal objectives

Project Outcome Grading
EE/TE/CE Senior Design
NOTE: during the progress of a project, it is always possible that unforeseeable circumstances affect in a negative
way the outcome of a project. Should this happen, the grade might or might not be affected. The following
procedure will be in place:
• If the project achieves MEASURABLE set A, then you get the maximum points for your project
• If MEASURABLE feature set A is not met, then
Present evidence to demonstrate that the team did everything possible to achieve MEASURABLE feature
set A:
• The first piece of evidence is men hours: each team member is REQUIRED to keep a time log (in half
hour increments) about his/her work related to the project. Each team member is expected to allocate
7/10 hours per week to the project. If even a single team member fails to meet the 7/10 hours per week
criteria, no further evidence will be accepted and the project will be graded solely based on the
MEASURABLE feature set achieved, i.e., B, C, D, or F. NOTICE THAT IT WILL BE REQUIRED THAT
EACH TEAM SUBMITS A WEEKLY REPORT WITH TIME LOGS FOR EACH TEAM MEMBERS FOR
THE ENTIRE DURATION OF THE SEMESTER.
• If the criteria above is met, then the team must include in the FINAL REPORT a section that explain in
great detail why the project failed to meet MEASURABLE feature set A. The final decision about how
many points will be assigned for the project outcome points portion of the grade is the sole responsibility
of the instructor. NOTICE THAT EXPLANATIONS THAT ARE BASED ON UNAVAILABILITY OF PARTS
OR UNAVAILABILITY OF FUNDS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.
