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 to choose from during the 2018-2019 academic year.  Several of the projects are multidisciplinary projects, in which an EE team will be 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 2018-2019 academic year, and then present their work at the 2019 College of Engineering Engineering Design Expo on June 7, 2019.  Available 2018-2019 EE Capstone Projects are described below:

 

 

Project Descriptions:

 

1.  Sponsor: Altair Instruments
