Project Descriptions for Spring 2020
Overview
Capstone design projects (aka Sponsored Projects) will begin in MAE156A and be completed in MAE156B.
Projects with a preceding * indicate that students will be required to sign a Student Participation Agreement, which assigns patent rights to the sponsor. Only students who offer to sign this agreement voluntarily (in the project preference form) will be assigned to such projects.
You will need a Gmail account for the class in order to edit your team webpage that uses Google Sites. If you do not already have a gmail account, please create one one at www.gmail.com, prior to completing the project preference form.
Students will submit their project and teammate preferences. Teams will be made by the course instructors taking student preferences into consideration.

8. Internal team peer review
Instructor will email a peer review link to evaluate your teammates efforts on the risk-reduction.
The peer reviews will be kept anonymous from other students in the class, but the averaged results and combined comments from one’s teammates will be emailed to the students being reviewed.
It is not proper etiquette to ask your teammates how they reviewed you.
Review by peers can be difficulty, but also among the most helpful learning tool.
If you choose to add comments in “Areas for Improvement” then comments should also be entered under “Helpful Actions.” Effective feedback focuses on the impact of certain actions rather than on a team member’s personality.
A combined rating is provided, here the average score for each student is 1000 points, which reflects the overall contribution of the team member being reviewed.
If you enter a combined score of 900 or lower, then comments must be entered to justify this scoring, either to the instructor in the student feedback area.
