These courses are organized within a department with course numbers that correspond to a particular major.<\/p>\n<p>Students typically work in teams to design a device, system or simulation to meet the needs of an external client or Tickle College of Engineering stakeholder. In some departments, such as electrical engineering and computer science, students may work on interdisciplinary teams within their home department. Course credits vary from 3 to 8 hours to complete the requirements. Some programs, such as MABE, have faculty project mentors as well as project clients to support the teams.<\/p>\n<p>The courses include professional communications\u2014including written reports and technical presentations\u2014as well as exposure to topics ranging from ethics and professionalism, to intellectual property, export controls, and project management. Final project deliverables include a report, a presentation, a poster and often a functional prototype system (physical system, software application, simulation or paper design). Some senior design course sequences satisfy Vol Core requirements for Oral Communications (OC), Applied Oral Communications (AOC) and Engaged Inquiries (EI).<\/p>\n<p>Learn more about the requirements for your major.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"arrow-list\">\n<li><i class=\"fas fa-angle-right fas-li\"><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/ag.tennessee.edu\/BESS\/Pages\/biosystemsengineering-seniordesignprojs.aspx\">Biosystems Engineering<\/a><\/li>\n<li><i class=\"fas fa-angle-right fas-li\"><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/catalog.utk.edu\/preview_program.php?catoid=24&amp;poid=10294&amp;hl=Chemical+Engineering&amp;returnto=search#tt8619\">Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering<\/a><\/li>\n<li><i class=\"fas fa-angle-right fas-li\"><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/cee.utk.edu\/undergraduate\/senior-design\/\">Civil and Environmental Engineering<\/a><\/li>\n<li><i class=\"fas fa-angle-right fas-li\"><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eecs.utk.edu\/academics\/undergraduate\/\">Electrical Engineering and Computer Science<\/a><\/li>\n<li><i class=\"fas fa-angle-right fas-li\"><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/ise.utk.edu\/undergraduate\/senior-designs\/\">Industrial and Systems Engineering<\/a><\/li>\n<li><i class=\"fas fa-angle-right fas-li\"><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/mse.utk.edu\/mse-undergraduate-courses\/\">Materials Science and Engineering<\/a><\/li>\n<li><i class=\"fas fa-angle-right fas-li\"><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/mabe.utk.edu\/academics\/undergraduate-programs\/\">Mechanical, Aerospace, and Biomedical Engineering<\/a><\/li>\n<li><i class=\"fas fa-angle-right fas-li\"><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/catalog.utk.edu\/preview_program.php?catoid=24&amp;poid=10428&amp;hl=Nuclear&amp;returnto=search\">Nuclear Engineering<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>All engineering majors must complete a senior design course or course sequence.
