This is the second part of a two-semester capstone design course. 

This part consists on the implementation of the proposed solution in the Report of CET 497 Senior Proposal. A functional either virtual or physical prototype or both is completed and tested in the second semester. Each student is required to write an in depth engineering report and to give an oral presentation to the community.
