To further assist the students in concentrating on the senior
project work, a special and separate space has been devoted
to the capstone design courses, EML4551C and EML4552C. This
"design studio" is a large room where teams can
hold project meetings, brainstorm design ideas, store equipment,
or do light assembly and testing (otherwise machine shops
and laboratories are also made available to the teams).
This design studio is not only a "safe zone",
it is also a "team zone". In its first year of
operation, this design studio is proving a useful addition
for effective delivery of the capstone design experience.
