Final Design Review Schedule¶
Final Design Review Instructions¶
Course Scheduled Finals¶
Multidisciplinary Capstone Design does not have a final exam. The registrar does schedule final times for ECSE 4900, ISYE 4270, MANE 4260, and MTLE 4920. This is to guarantee that the team has at least one time slot that works for everyone.
The course has no activities during these blocks.
Teams can use these time slots for their final design review or anything else agreed to by instructors and team members.
Presentations, including Q&A time, are generally 2 hours.
All team members are to be there in person in addition to your PE, CE and client.
