Civil Engineering Capstone Detailed Design

Catalog description

This course is one half of a two-course Civil Engineering capstone design experience. Students work on their multidisciplinary teams and produce programs and designs that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare. Students consider global, cultural, social, societal, environmental and economic factors in their design. The team members work together to provide leadership within a collaborative and inclusive environment where they establish the goals of the project, plan tasks, and meet project objectives. This course focuses on detailed engineering designs for the project from CVE 4901 Civil Engineering Capstone Alternatives Analysis. The students develop calculations, reports, drawings, and details intended to thoroughly convey the design to faculty and stakeholders. Knowledge and skills learned in prerequisite course work are integrated into this course. Students must effectively communicate their design intentions to stakeholders throughout the semester and defend their solutions to a panel of experienced industry professionals at the end of the course. The CAECM Capstone Handbook applies to this course, and the handbook provides full details for the student’s entry to and satisfactory completion of the course.
