Abstract EN
This paper presents a multidisciplinary open-ended capstone design project where students designed, built, and test drove a Formula Society of Automatic Engineers (FSAE) electric vehicle.
The capstone team included students from computer, electrical, and mechanical engineering programs.
Each student worked in on a subteam, namely, mechanical design, drivetrain, supervisory control and data acquisition, and battery management system.
A thorough description of each subsystem is provided herein.
Software architecture, system integration, and field test results are also reviewed.
Team organization, faculty and industry involvement, and assessment of student outcomes are provided.
This paper details the approach of building a bridge between academia and engineering practices.
This paper also documents a process where undergraduate students research and master multiple technology areas and then apply them to the project’s focus.
ABET student outcomes 1–7 were used to design and assess the course.
Peer-to-peer rating and ranking are presented as an assessment tool for the multidisciplinary nature of the project.
