Today's university Computer Engineering curriculum is typically of a broad range of diverse topics. Often a student's first opportunity to link their diverse topics together to a common goal occurs during their last semester in their senior capstone course. Also, the curriculum requires common engineering and liberal arts courses which further strain the typical student's ability to cover Computer Engineering topics in much depth. A short elective summer course was offered for rising juniors. This course provided an introduction to embedded computer systems and exposed students to other computer engineering topics. It also served as a "capstone project dry run".
