12-401 CEE Design
12 units, Carnegie Mellon University
This capstone design experience integrates knowledge and experience from technical and professional skills acquired in the civil engineering and environmental engineering project course sequence. Students apply the design process and knowledge from the core curriculum to design engineering solutions to real engineering problems. Students work in teams in a pre-professional environment to meet the challenges with which they are presented. Oral, written, and graphic communications both within teams and with external audiences are essential to successful completion of the projects. Students manage the design process as they work with community partners to co-design solutions during the semester-long project. Student teams work with community partners to define the engineering problem, including requirements and performance criteria, and to imagine and evaluate potential solutions. Teams produce models and calculations to assess performance with respect to requirements and performance criteria and detailed design deliverables to convey the recommended solution.
