Electrical & Computer Engin 497DP - ST-Design Project Mentoring

This course is part of the DP123 initiative: Design Project for 1st, 2nd and 3rd Year ECE Students. It enables students to design and build hardware and software systems before the senior design project (SDP). Most of the projects are team-based. The projects are guided from concept to final designs by the course instructors as well as by ECE seniors acting as project mentors (enrolled in E&C-ENG 497DP). DP123 projects are built in M5, the academic makerspace for ECE undergraduates.

This course is open to Seniors and Juniors in EE or CS ENG majors only. This course enables 3rd and 4th year ECE students to gain valuable experience mentoring 1st, 2nd, and 3rd year ECE students engaged in group and solo design projects. This course is supported by M5, the makerspace for UMass Amherst ECE community.

Applicants must be junior or senior CS-ENG or EE Majors or ENGIN majors. Contact the instructor directly if you are interested in the course.
