Course Description:

The thesis gives students an opportunity to produce a major item of independent work that showcases multi-disciplinary strength. Students will research, develop, implement, and present a comprehensive, multi-faceted design project. Students will leverage design process knowledge, design thinking, technical execution, and presentation skills obtained via pre-requisite courses in preceding semesters to explore solutions for complex, and multi-faceted design problems. Under instructor advising, students will work independently on a comprehensive, multi-faceted project of their own.

The course begins with a project brief, developed by each student and then progresses through research, concept, planning and design development before moving through to implementation, monitoring, analysis and (finally) presentation.
