Abstract :
This paper outlines several senior capstone projects in the area of computer engineering. The projects utilize knowledge of several areas including but not limited to embedded systems, interfacing sensors, accessing computer peripherals, network programming and graphical user interface development. Depending on the skills of the student team some elements may be elaborated and some skipped. The home appliances as the target category of controlled devices makes this kind of project relatively simple and yet attractive to students. It also provides hands on experience in the field of home automation
