Senior Design Project FAQs

How many quarters do projects last?
Almost all projects are 3-quarter projects. To get the most out of your MAE189 experience, you should figure on starting in the fall quarter and continuing through winter and spring quarters.
 
How many units should I take?
You should figure on signing up for 2 units each quarter. Each unit represents about 4 hours of work. 8 hours a week on your project is a reasonable amount.
 
How do sign up for a project?
For the start of fall quarter, all projects are listed at http://projects.mae.uci.edu/available-projects/. If you click on a project link, you will be taken to a project description that has information on who to get in touch with. After the fall quarter is underway, you will still find project information on projects tab.
 
Can I create my own project?
Yes you can! You need a team of at least 3 people. Then you need to recruit a faculty advisor. It helps if you have a written project description to discuss with prospective faculty members. Note that if it is just you with a project idea, you might still look for a faculty mentor and do an MAE199 Independent Study Project.
 
What are the requirements for MAE189?
You must have senior standing for MAE189. However, there are also MAE93 and MAE193 project options for underclassmen. You will need to sign a liability waiver and pledge for excellence. Faculty/Teams may impose other requirements for their specific projects.
 
Are there things that we have to do for MAE189 or do we just get assignments from our faculty advisor?

There is a syllabus for MAE189/193/93 that details the requirements.

The AY18-19 MAE189/193/93 Syllabus: ENGRMAE 189-193-93 Syllabus_AY18-19_RevD

How will I be graded?
Ultimately it is up to the advisors to assign final grades. A template for peer grading will enable you to assess each other. Results of peer grading will also be given to advisors. Advisors will be given information on individual students from weekly check-ins. The course coordinators will provide feedback on other required group activities such as peer reviews. The course coordinator and advisor will both grade written assignments, including blogging and design review posters.
 
Student fees
Each student pays a $160 course fee for each quarter of MAE189. Teams can then access $100 of each students' course fee.
 
I have questions about Funding, Space, Fabrication, Analysis, Safety, etc ....
