Civil Engineering
The capstone design course, Civil Engineering Design, was developed to replicate the civil engineering experiences students will face when they enter the engineering workforce after graduation. The capstone project teaches students the skills and concepts needed to succeed as a project engineer and project manager. Each student is responsible for a particular aspect of the overall project and takes turns in the lead engineer role.
Classroom discussions cover the engineering design process, including project definition, needs requirements, budgeting and construction scheduling. Faculty members infuse case studies in both Coast Guard and civilian field applications throughout the curriculum, ensuring students understand the practical application of their studies.
Recent Capstone Projects
The capstone design experience ties together the various subfields of Civil Engineering, and provides majors vital real-world engineering project experience. Below are two examples of recent engineering projects developed by CE students:
