Abstract
We developed a three quarter capstone project course sequence for our ABET accredited optical engineering program. In the first course of the sequence we teach design methodology based on a mini-project done concurrently with lectures outlining the product development process. The mini-project is centered on the design of an imaging system. The kit used for this design project consists of a webcam, 20 lenses, and a collection of lens tubes and adaptors. Over the next two quarters the students choose from a selection of client-based projects, where the focus is on team work that culminates in a functional prototype.
