Each senior design project follows four phases: project selection, design and analysis, implementation, and delivery. Details for each phase are outlined below, followed by a list of frequently asked questions and answers.<\/p>\n
1. Project Selection Phase<\/p>\n
a. Faculty advisor works with client to identify potential projects for OREM 4395 Senior Design<\/em> student groups within their organizations.

During initial meeting, all stakeholders will help define project topic \/ problem and scope<\/p>\n 2. Design and Analysis Phase<\/p>\n a. Working in conjunction with faculty advisor, students design possible solution approaches and determine data needs<\/p>\n b. Data collection process begins:<\/p>\n \u00b7 <\/span>If data is readily available, client provides to students<\/p>\n \u00b7 <\/span>Otherwise, students work with client to collect necessary data<\/p>\n c. Ensuring project guidance, direction, and feedback:<\/p>\n \u00b7 <\/span>Students meet with faculty advisor weekly<\/em> to discuss progress, issues, next steps etc.<\/p>\n \u00b7 <\/span>Students meet with client as needed for feedback and troubleshooting<\/p>\n 3. Implementation Phase (under supervision of faculty advisor)<\/p>\n a. Students develop mathematical \/ statistical models necessary for analyzing problem<\/p>\n b. Students test and validate models<\/p>\n c. Students apply models to data, socializing results with client and faculty advisor<\/p>\n d. Ensuring project guidance, direction, and feedback:<\/p>\n \u00b7 <\/span>Students meet with faculty advisor weekly<\/em> to discuss progress, issues etc.<\/p>\n \u00b7 <\/span>Students meet with client as needed for feedback and troubleshooting<\/p>\n 4. Delivery Phase<\/p>\n a. Students interpret results \/ draw conclusions from models output combined with any other qualitative observations<\/p>\n b. Students prepare recommendations and deliverables for client: final report, formal presentation, and any software created \/ data gathered<\/p>\n c. Deliverables are given to the client, who provides feedback to the student team and faculty advisor<\/p>\n See also:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Senior Design Process Each senior design project follows four phases: project selection, design and analysis, implementation, and delivery.
