The capstone course for all CSE majors begins with discussions of the ethical impact of computer science and engineering on the human condition as well as more general questions concerning the impact of technology on society. From a distinctively Christian perspective, students will examine several philosophical systems of ethics with the stated purpose of examining the social and ethical responsibilities of CSE professionals. In light of all class discussions, students employ techniques to design and implement a hardware/software solution for a current volunteer project of Computer Science and Engineering. (Same as CISC 4370). Lab fee.

The Capstone Design course provides Senior level engineering students the opportunity to participate in a year-long design project. Design teams will be supported by a dedicated engineering professor from a relevant engineering discipline. Students may choose a University design competition, or a project that serves a customer in the community. Design projects are to be held to a professional standard, with realistic constraints. This course culminates in a preliminary design review that will be used to complete the final design in the following semester. Prerequisite: ENGR 3260 and senior standing. Lab fee.

The Capstone Design course provides Senior level engineering students the opportunity to participate in a year-long design project. This course is the second half of the Capstone Design sequence.  Design teams will continue their work through fabrication, testing, and final presentation.
