Projects Info:
Welcome
to the EE Capstone Projects Page! There are a number of exciting EE Capstone projects
to choose from during the 2022-2023 academic year. Several of the projects are multidisciplinary
projects, in which an EE team will be paired with teams from ME and/or CE. Many projects are
sponsored either by a research group at UCSB or by one of our industry partners.
Each student group is typically made up of 4-5 students. While groups are independently
responsible for working on and completing their projects, each group is assigned
a mentor, often from the group which is sponsoring the project, to provide
technical guidance and assistance. Student groups work on their projects throughout the entire 2022-2023
academic year, and then present their work at the 2022 College of Engineering
Engineering Design Expo on June 9, 2023. Available 2022-2023 EE and Multidisciplinary
Capstone Projects are described below:
