EEC 490 Senior Design

Spring Semester 2012

Course Objectives:          Students are formed into small design groups (typically three students) and assigned a project. In addition to carrying out the design project, students are required to keep a design notebook, to write progress reports and a final report, and to make an oral presentation of the design effort.
Specifically in the spring 2012 semester, students will be involved in developing multidisciplinary Kinect applications for monitoring and data acquisition for rehabilitation research and clinical study.
