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.

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.
