Projects Info:

Welcome to the EE Capstone Projects Page (click here to return to the EE Capstone Home Page)!  There are a number of exciting EE Capstone projects that students are working on during the 2015-2016 academic year.  Many of the projects are multi-disciplinary projects, in which an EE team is paired with teams from ME and/or CE.  Each project is sponsored either by a research group at UCSB or by one of our industry partners.  Each student group is made up of 3-5 students.  While groups are independently responsible for working on and completing their projects, each group is assigned a mentor, typically from the group which is sponsoring the project, to provide technical guidance and assistance.  Student groups work on their projects throughout the entire 2015-2016 academic year, and then present their work at the 2016 ME/EE Design Fair on June 3, 2016.  The 2015-2016 EE Capstone Projects are described below:
