Senior Design Projects
Senior engineering students tackle a major design problem in their capstone course: Senior Design Project. An annual Open House and Senior Banquet celebrate their successes and achievements.
The 26th Annual Senior Design Banquet and Projects Night will be Saturday, May 8, 2010.
Reserve the date now. More details will be available in February.
25th Annual Senior Design Banquet & Projects Night
Senior Design Projects Night is the perfect time for friends, family, and the public to come together to see what Calvin's engineering students have been working on all year!
The 2009 Engineering Banquet was held on Saturday, May 9, 2009. The evening's activities began at 4:00 p.m. in the Vermeer Engineering Projects Center and Prince Engineering Design Center. During the open-house guests were able to view the displays and prototypes developed by the design teams. Following a wonderful dinner at the Commons the formal presentations of all the Senior Engineering Design Projects were given in the Science Building, North Hall, and the Commons Lecture Hall.

ENGR 339*
Senior Design Project (2)
Integrative Studies with ENGR 340
This is the first course in the senior design project sequence. Emphasis is placed on design team formation, project identification, and production of a feasibility study. Students focus on the development of task specifications in light of the norms for design and preliminary validation of the design by means of basic analysis and appropriate prototyping. Lectures focus on integration of the design process with a reformed Christian worldview, team building, and state-of-the art technical aspects of design. Interdisciplinary projects are encouraged.
Prerequisites:
- Concurrent registration in the seventh semester of the model program for a particular concentration or permission of the instructors
- Biblical Foundations I or Theological Foundations I
- DCM
- Philosophical Foundations
ENGR 340*
Senior Design Project (4)
Integrative Studies with ENGR 339
This is the second course in the senior design project sequence. Emphasis is placed on the completion of a major design project initiated in 339. This project should entail task specifications in light of the norms for design by means of engineering analysis and an appropriate prototype focused on primary functionality. A final presentation is given at the May senior design project banquet. Lectures continue to focus on integration of the design process with a reformed Christian worldview, team activity, and state-of-the art technical aspects of design.
Prerequisites:
- ENGR 339
- Biblical Foundations I or Theological Foundations I
