Abstract

Requirements development and management is a critical element of a successful undergraduate engineering senior design projects. Traditionally, students start building their senior design projects without developing and documenting their system requirements and the subsystems interface requirements. Having no or incorrectly defined interface requirements would lead to a project failure. Students would not be able to successfully integrate their senior project subsystems. Interface requirements are critical as they define the subsystems inputs and outputs in terms of their electrical, mechanical and software characteristics. In this paper we will discuss the requirements development process that would lead to an effective and successful undergraduate engineering project execution. Having students execute effective requirements development process would help their educational academic programs demonstrate that their students meet some of the required ABET accreditation student outcomes.
