CVL 71A/B
Environmental Capstone Design Project
The Capstone is a practically designed project integrated over the different areas of Civil Engineering. Students will operate in consultant groups and complete a design for a typical Engineering undertaking. The course involves professional engineers acting as clients and bringing in real-life design problems to pre-selected teams of 4 - 6 students or as the course instructor dictates given the type of projects. Students are required to submit at least two design alternatives for the project that will be evaluated based on economic, environmental, and other considerations. At the end of the fall semester each team will determine the best alternative design for the project. At the end of the winter semester, each team will present and submit a detailed design report.
