|||||||||
| Co-requisites | None | |||||||||
| Expected Prior Knowledge | Basic knowledge about civil engineering design | |||||||||
| Registration Restrictions | Only Undergraduate Students – Senior year level | |||||||||
| Overall Educational Objective | To learn and experience how to analyze a system or process to determine requirements and constraints and to design that system or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints for the solution of a specific realistic civil engineering problem by using the knowledge and skills acquired through previous classes. | |||||||||
| Course Description | In this course, based on the problem selected, students will propose a design process for the problem specific civil engineering system or process, and apply the proposed design to the selected problem under the supervision of their advisors. |
Course Learning Outcomes and CompetencesUpon successful completion of the course, the learner is expected to be able to:1) model, analyze and solve a practical civil engineering problem by applying appropriate techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for practice; 2) collect, analyze and interpret report data (experiments, surveys, measurements, etc.) depending on the characteristics of the problem; 3) design a system, component or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints, and address the uncertainties in the design process; 4) deliver a design project in formal written format; 5) demonstrate effective presentation skills; 6) define professional and ethical responsibility followed during a design process; 7) explain the impact of civil engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, ethical, constructability and sustainability context; 8) explain contemporary issues on the identification, formulation and solution of civil engineering problems; 9) function effectively as a member of a team; 10) demonstrate skills of self-directed learning. |
