I. General Introduction:
The senior design project course by itself provides an integrated
assessment of the progress of the students toward the desired electrical
engineering competency. It is therefore important to design fair and broad
guidelines for better assessment of this course.
A senior design project in the Department of Electrical Engineering
(EE) is a two-semester course in which students form teams usually of 2
members, select a design project and are supervised by a faculty member.
The first semester, of the two-semester sequence, can start in the fall or
spring of an academic year. The students are expected to discuss their
progress with their supervisors in regular weekly meetings. The students
submit a written report, present and defend their work at the end of the
project.
The main purpose of the project is to improve the students' technical
skills, communication skills by integrating writing, presentation and
teamwork opportunities. The design project is comprehensive and focuses
on professional practice and includes a variety of non-technical issues such
as economic factors, safety, reliability, environment and social impacts.
The topics are normally chosen by the department faculty members.
During the summer training course, the student(s) can also choose the
topic of the design project; the selected topic should meet the
requirements for EE Senior Project. The students are required to
demonstrate their ability to: conduct a literature survey; perform the
relevant calculations, propose a solution to the problem, and implement
their design.
Externally sponsored projects are welcome and benefit the industry
and guarantee a strong educational experience for our students. Sponsored
projects can be tailored to meet the requirements for EE Senior Project
students.
This report presents guidelines for the management and assessment
of projects carried out inside and outside the university including the
sponsored ones.
II. Steps to assign a senior project:
Students are expected to register for the senior project with a faculty
member whose specialty and interests are compatible with the preferred
topic of his project. Students may find a senior project supervisor by
meeting with individual faculty members prior to the beginning of the term
and receiving their approval as a supervisor. To assign a senior project,
student(s)/faculty/sponsored company should go through the following
steps:
1. Submit the senior project proposal form
2. Present it to the department for checking/modification and
approval

3. Register the students with the selected faculty member
III. Project Duration & Academic Level:
Senior (Final year of study) students expected to graduate by the end
of the academic year can take the senior design project course which spans
a two-semester. During the first semester, the student registers in phase
one of the project (course code: ELEC 498; one-credit hour). After
successful completion of the first part, the student registers in part two of
the project (Course code: ELEC 499; two-credit hour).
IV. Pre-requisite(s):
Department approval (at least 90 credit hours).
V. Objectives:
The objectives of the Senior Design Project are:
9 To create an environment for the undergraduate students to use the
skills acquired in the other courses to solve real engineering and
technical problems.
9 To enhance creativity of the students in analyzing and solving
electrical engineering and technical problems in general.
9 To create an environment to promote cross disciplinary learning and
team approach to problem solving.
9 To develop the ability of self-learning.
9 To prepare students to be successful in their industrial careers .
VI. Course Outcomes (ABET Criteria)

VII. Project Supervision:
A faculty member (Ph.D. holder), will be assigned by the EE
department to follow-up and guide the students in the development of the
project. An external project (sponsored project) is co-supervised by a
faculty member and an engineer from the host company. The assigned
faculty member is responsible for direct communication and coordination
with the sponsor company and the external supervisor. A senior project
proposal should be submitted at the beginning of the course by the
supervisor(s) for department approval (see enclosed Form). Presentations
of senior project should be carried out at the end of each term and one
week before the final exams.
VIII. Project Team's Log Book
During the senior design project, the students need to use for the
first time a project team’s log book. The log book plays an essential role in
documenting and keeping a concise track record of all phases of the
project. Also, it is considered as one of the main ways of communication
between the different parties when working on a project. Good
documentation is a key to a successful senior design project and hence the
log book is required. A typical log book should comprise:
™ Calculations, ideas, experiments, drawings, handouts etc, which may
have bearing on developments
™ Entries should also include problems worked on possible and actually
solutions plus calculations and tests made
™ Drawings, graphs, handouts etc should be used liberally. They must
be dated and signed by the project supervisor and attached to the
log book using glue or staples.
™ If a change is made, draw a line through the original entry and
clearly indicate what the change is and why it was made.
The most important rule to remember is: when it comes to what you
must record; simply record everything.
Although each project team needs to discuss with the project supervisor
exactly what he expects from the log book
♦ Keep a detailed record for all phases of the project. Project
supervisors should review and sign the log book at regular intervals
during the two semesters.
♦ Be aware that the supervisor can request to look at the log book
without any notice. Therefore, students have to make sure that their
log books are up-to-date. One handy hint; when you are first using
EE Senior Project Assessment
5/43
May 2010
your log book, start on page 4, as you can then use pages 1-3 for
your index.
♦ Use the log book as a design tool; enter everything in there, no
matter how irrelevant you might think it is. Every day, write what
you’ve done detailing all your ideas and keep a record of your
successes and problems.
Finally, when the project is completed, each team should handle their own
log book to the supervisor along with the final project report.
IX. Marking & Assessing The Senior Design Project Course:
Assessing the students' abilities to problem solving and effectiveness
in expressing ideas in oral and written communication can be done by
examining the proposed designs described in the report, and observing the
oral presentation. By considering the scope and depth of the students'
treatments of all issues related to the design project, the faculty is able to
assess the students' abilities to consider wider environmental issues which
often accompany electrical engineering practice.
A - Marking & Assessing the Senior Project I (ELEC 498)
At the end of this course, a progress report should be written in
which the problem statement, design concept, simulation work and
hardware concept are clearly described. Students will prepare an oral
presentation. Assessment at this level is based on the senior project
proposal submitted at the beginning of the course. Examiners will evaluate
and present constructive criticism and suggestions to help improve and
develop the project. Table 1 shows a marking for the assessment of the
senior project I.

B - Marking & Assessing the Senior Project II (ELEC 499):
At the end of this course, each project group will write a final report,
prepare an oral presentation and demonstrate their final product. By
reading the report, observing the presentation and inspecting the realized
project, the faculty should be able to assess the written and oral
communication skills as well as the problem-solving skills of the students.
For fair assessment of senior project II, Table 2 shows a possible
breakdown of marks for the Senior Design Project II course.
