  • All projects at a minimum are required to produce a working drawing package, manufacturing plan, and functional prototype.
  • Each business will have access to attend the Senior Design Expo and exposure to Miami Engineering students for potential hiring purposes.

Project Quality Assurance

To ensure the quality of the project outcomes,

  • Each project team of engineers has an MME faculty advisor who will be directing and mentoring the students in the project activities.
  • Each project team is required to submit and pass 8 Gate Reviews to ensure project objectives are being met thoroughly and effectively.
  • An NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement) can and will be signed by businesses to ensure protection of all development activities and proprietary information.

Next Steps
