Project
Description
A capstone design
course is a senior-level course designed to enable students to bring together
much of what they have learned in their undergraduate major and apply it
to the design, construction, and documentation of a sizable and useful
engineering artifact. In the Computer Engineering curriculum, CSE477 fills
this role. The way it accomplishes this is through a course project that
ties together material previously encountered in the program. The project
experience has several elements, including:
-
students work in groups/teams
so that they experience the issues in partitioning responsibilities, defining
interfaces, and then integrating separately designed elements,
-
the project must include
both hardware and software components as these are essential elements of
all modern microelectronic systems,
-
the project must include
communication aspects either between components of the system being designed
or between it and some other system,
-
students present their
work in class for design review with their fellow students as well as to
enrich everyone's experience by sharing project-specific design decisions,
and
-
a final report on the
project that will also include complete documentation on how to construct
and
-
operate the system designed.

Suggestions
You can choose your
own projects but here are some ideas:
-
Real-time image processing, e.g. shrink/zoom/warp/sharpen/...
-
LaserMice: camera-based "mouse" interface
-
Multi-modal user interfaces: camera, accelerometer, range- finder, audio,
speech-recognition, ...
-
Accelerometer-based pedometer
-
Video games?
-
“pong” (with hand-motion interface)
-
Fly-through with hand-sensing interface
-
Animations
-
Simple graphics card
-
Shaded polygon drawing, texture mapping
-
Motion capture
-
Audio signal-processing, e.g. equalizer
