CHET-3090: Graduation Project I

Description
In this project, the students are expected to utilize their learned knowledge and hands on skills gained throughout the previous core courses in their concentrations by undertaking an applied engineering technology / applied science project. During the project, students engage in the entire process of the analysis of a problem and determination of the best solution and/or course of action. They will be able to define, design and develop engineering technology solutions in accordance with API standards. Planning and designing alternatives that meet cost, performance, and user-interface goals are emphasized. Project planning, scheduling, and management techniques are studied. Different design approaches are compared. Teamwork, global and societal concerns, and professional ethics are integrated into the course project. The students will be able to discuss and present their project findings in an oral presentation and a written report and/or a research paper. GP: 3 hrs/wk (2 hrs class by advisor + 1 hr lecture/workshop by GP unit).
