Requirements to earn MDE (Major Design Experience) substitution on an MDP Project for CE

  • Posted by Senait Dafa

1. Students who complete ANY MDP sponsored project will be allowed to use it to satisfy the CE MDE requirement, and it will count for 4 credits of Flexible Technical Electives.

(1) In order to satisfy the CE degree requirements, however, these students will be required to take another 4 credit upper-level CE technical elective (not necessarily an CE MDE) chosen from the list given in the CE program guide. These credits can be used toward the total of 10 credits Upper Level CE Electives currently required.

Please note: A maximum of 4 credits of directed or independent study or multidisciplinary design work may be applied to Technical Elective Requirements, which includes any of these credits used to satisfy Major Design Experience and Flexible Technical Electives. Anything beyond 4 credits will be applied toward General Electives.

(2) You may request special permission to use an MDE project course from another program (including the Multidisciplinary Design Program) (must be approved by CE Chief Program Advisor – please make an advising appointment with Mark Brehob to discuss).

2. Students must enroll in 4 credit hours of ENGR 455 in the semester that they receive MDE credit.

All MDP projects are two terms: the MDE substitution occurs in the Fall/2nd semester of the project.

3. Student must have Senior standing.

4. Technical Communications 496 AND EECS 496 should be elected concurrently in the semester MDE substitution is made.

 

Enrollment Plan: CE Student earning MDE credit on an MDP Project

Winter semester Fall semester
ENGR x55  (3 credit hours) ENGR 455 (4 credit hours)

+ EECS 496 (2 credit hours)

+ TCHNCLCM 496 (2 credit hours)

 

Students who do NOT have Senior standing/are otherwise ineligible to earn MDE may be eligible to use ENGR 355 or 455 under Directed Study rule:

Directed Study Rule: Up to 4 credit hours of independent study (EECS 399, EECS 499, ENGR 355, ENGR 455, or other technical department’s independent study courses) may be used as Flexible Technical Electives.

 

(ARCHIVE) The following 2018 MDP projects were pre-approved by the Computer Engineering department to earn MDE credit:

  • Backyard Brains Rainforest Wildlife Recording System
  • Beyster BluePath Structure Navigation System for the Visually Impaired
  • Denso Virtual Reality Test Drive of Autonomous Vehicle
  • HATCI Co-Pilot Drone for Enhanced Vehicle Experience
  • MDA Autonomous Mobile Sensor System for Quadcopter
  • Procter & Gamble New Robot & Cobot Functionality for Manufacturing Systems
  • ProQuest Improve Drug Safety through Deep Learning
  • Maestro Conducting Simulation
  • Stryker Voice-Based Charting for Clinicians
  • Toyota Next Generation Driver Compartment Concepts for Semi-Autonomous Vehicles
