ECE 395: EE Senior Projects I

and

ECE 396: EE Senior Projects II

Fall 2025 and Spring 2026

Tuesday 2:00 PM - 5:00 PM

EE Senior Projects is scheduled for Tuesdays from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM for the fall semester. The two sections, advised by Prof. Sable and Prof. Shlayan, will be synchronized. Some weeks we will meet from 2 pm - 4 pm in Rm. 101 or Rm. 104 in the fall (spring locations are TBD). Other weeks, during those hours, we will meet with groups one at a time (usually in the Senior Lab, but early in the semester, we may ask students or groups to come to our offices). Some weeks there will be special activities, usually including both sections of EE Senior Projects, and possible other departments as well. The 4 pm - 5 pm hour will often be set aside for interdisciplinary activities, which non-interdisciplinary groups will often also be invited to. These activities will usually take place in Rose Auditorium. Some weeks, we will use more than one hour for these activities (i.e., we may move to Rose Auditorium earlier than 4 pm). During weeks when there is no interdisciplinary activity, we will continue to meet with groups during the 4 pm - 5 pm hour. The schedule below will be updated as the year progresses.

Assignments

Some assignments with associated handouts, primarily those that involve written components, will be posted here when they are assigned. Other assignments, primarily those that involve presentations, will be discussed in class and will appear in the schedule below.

Grading for the fall semester will largely consider the following four components:

  • Progress on the project
  • The end-of-semester presentation or poster session
  • The end-of-semester report
  • The group's activity archive including individual activity logs

    Grading for the spring semester will largely consider the following four components:

  • The final state of your project (most important)
  • The end-of-year showcase
  • The end-of-year report (final report)
  • The group's activity archive and individual activity logs

    Schedule

    The schedule below will be updated as the year progresses. Any dates which have not yet passed are tentative. Attendance is mandatory at all activities, unless otherwise stated in class.

    It is likely that additional workshops (e.g., a technial writing workshop) will also be scheduled.

    During weeks when groups meet with their advisor one at a time, students should be working with their group members, in the senior lab, or elsewhere if appropriate, on their projects during senior project hours when they are not meeting with an advisor.
