Students may choose one of three project types:
All types may be pre-arranged (determined before class registration)
Details on how to pre-arrange a project can be found here --> Fall 2024 ME463 Pre-Arranged Project Information.
If you don't wish to pre-arrange, or are unable, you will register for the course as you normally would any other course and then work with your ME463 lab instructor at the start of the semester to get assigned to a project and a team.
ALL projects must satisfy the course Project Selection Criteria.
Mar. 5: Deadline to submit student project ideas to jensen23@purdue.edu and hirleman@purdue.edu
