Capstone Design I

Catalog description

The culminating capstone design experience for Civil Engineering majors showcases program outcomes. Students work as a team utilizing project management strategies to investigate, examine, and formulate design solutions for a civil or environmental engineering problem. Designs incorporate acquired classroom knowledge, out-of-class learning, and sustainability concepts to simulate a "real world" design experience. The first semester of this two semester course focuses on project selection and planning, data acquisition, and out of class learning. Prerequisites: Students must be within two semesters of completing their degree requirements in the civil engineering program or have permission of the department chair.
