Curriculum Overview

The TEAM Design Project is carried out over two semesters:

Senior Design Project I – Focused on ideation, team formation, and early design development.

Senior Design Project II - Dedicated to prototyping, validation, and final presentation.

Senior Design Project I

1. Ideation: Students brainstorm and submit potential project ideas individually.

3. Teaming: Students are organized into interdisciplinary teams, typically consisting of 5–6 members from different majors.
   HERD system for team formation
4. Scoping: Teams develop a formal scope document, refining their project direction.

5. Review of Scope and Industrial Interviews: Coaches and department faculty review the submitted scope documents, assigning a grade of Pass (NP), Incomplete (IC), or Fail (F). Detailed feedback is provided through a standardized review form.
6. Conceptual Design Review (CDR) Presentation: Teams present their preliminary design concepts. Coaches evaluate presentations using standardized rubrics.
   CDR Presentation Review (Submission MS Form)
7. Release of Funding: Upon successful completion of the CDR, teams are approved to access project funding for prototyping in the next semester.
