Experience scope
Categories
Civil engineering Mechanical engineering Electrical engineering Hardware product designSkills
mechanical drawings engineering design process solidworks (cad)Bob Jones University senior engineering students do a solo capstone design project where they design a product or system, from preliminary design to pre-production prototype. These projects are in five areas: aerospace, civil, computer, electrical, and mechanical.
Learners
1. Design report including a detailed design with analysis and simulation results.
2. Design documents (electrical schematics, SolidWorks mechanical drawings, software listings, etc. depending on the project)
3. Typically a prototype device.
As with any academic project, the results are not guaranteed. The quality of the resulting design varies widely from student to student and project to project, but the goal is usually a working pre-production prototype. We work diligently to vet projects and match students to maximize the chance of success.
