Course Credits, Hours
2 cr., 1 hr class, 3 hrs lab
This is a project-based course for senior students involving
complex design and therefore necessitates extended lab
hours to complete essential work, requiring 3hrs lab
instead of traditional 2 hrs lab.
Course Pre / Co-Requisites
TCET 4202 or departmental permission
Catalog Course Description
A senior design course that integrates telecommunication
principles, problem solving skills, and lab experiences
students have gained throughout their undergraduate
curriculum. Students employ research and development
methodology as well as troubleshooting, teamwork,
project management, technical writing, and presentation.
Students present final project incorporating engineering
designs that are fully documented and prototyped.
Brief Rationale
1. It is an ABET requirement (ABET/ETAC 2013-2014
Accreditation Criteria, page 4). Present curriculum does
not explicitly fulfill that requirement and therefore we had
to find an alternative course (TCET 4220 Telecommunications Seminar) to fulfill the requirement.
However, this alternative does not offer the students
necessary design experience. The proposed new course
will replace the TCET 4220.
Provide a concise summary of why this
course is important to the department,
school or college.
2. It is standard for ABET accredited programs to offer
capstone project/senior design course.
3. The ETET department offers similar courses for EET
AAS (EET 2271) and EET B.Tech (EET4212). Therefore,
there should be a similar design course for TCET B.Tech
program.
4. It is designed to offer a culminating design experience

Comments and Recommendations
Based on a survey of the library collection, I believe that the library could use
additional materials to further support this course. The library offers numerous texts
and access to electronic resources related to electrical/telecommunications
engineering technology, yet some of the print material may be in need of updating
for more recently published works. This includes, but is not limited to, topics
related to network science and analysis, network protocols
(LAN/WAN/wireless/optical), and/or security and cryptography.
I suggest that the text for this course also be acquired and placed within the
library’s reserve section. Other supplemental resources focused on project design
and management, technical writing, and prototyping are also recommended.
Although ETET faculty is not directly consulting with library faculty for this
course, students should be aware of the numerous resources the library has to
support independent undergraduate research. A few selections of these services
consist of: citation management tools, individual research consultation with library
faculty subject specialists, access and support to library databases, and subject
research guides.

Course Need Assessment:
The TCET 4282 (Telecommunication Capstone Project) is a senior design course
required for the final semester B.Tech students in for the telecommunication engineering
technology students. It is an ABET requirement (ABET/ETAC 2013-2014 Accreditation
Criteria, page 4). This course will replace the TCET 4220.
One section of the course will be offered in fall and spring. Expected student count is 18.
No additional resources are required to conduct this course. The department has more than
five full time faculties who are capable of teaching this course.
Course Design:
It is designed to offer a culminating design experience for undergraduate students.
Students are to propose solutions to telecommunication engineering technology problems
with realistic constraints. Their design work will be an amalgamation of various
telecommunication principles, problem solving skills and lab experiences they gained
throughout their undergraduate curriculum. They will exercise research and development
methodology as well as utilize other relevant skills such as troubleshooting, teamwork,
project management, and technical writing and presentation. The course will be offered in
the department in lecture and lab format. Students will meet regularly with their faculty
advisors for design review and progress reports; and at the end of semester, they are to
present a sizable engineering design that is fully documented and prototyped.

Rationale: ABET requires a Capstone/ Senior Design course (ABET/ETAC 2013-2014 Accreditation Criteria, page 4) for B.Tech
degree. Present curriculum does not offer such a course. However, TCET 4220 (Telecommunications Seminar) is used to fulfill the
necessary assessment requirements. The proposed new course (TCET4282 Telecommunication Capstone Project ) will replace
the TCET 4220 to fulfill the ABET requirement.
