Fall 2025 LectureThis course is part of the Ideas to Innovation (I2I) Project course sequence, which forms the core of the ECE Project Track MS program. In this sequence of courses, student transform ideas and concepts into innovations, including improved components, systems or processes. Building from topics suggested by faculty, companies, prior I2I teams and inventions helps focus the projects on current and relevant problems. Students analyze the competitive landscape and define required performance for their designs, which allows them to identify the novel. The I2I team project is comparable in scope and rigor to a 6-credit MS thesis but is focused on design rather than research. In addition to building technical depth in current technology areas, the project definition, design and reporting phases serve as the vehicles for developing communication, project management and other professional skills.
