Description
The Integrated Design Project (IDP) is an opportunity for students to work in teams on the design of a major civil engineering project. In this multi-term capstone experience, students formulate open-ended engineering problems and design feasible solutions with support from industry and academics. This module is student-driven and requires a substantial investment to deepen knowledge and skills from past coursework.
Learning Outcomes
On completion of the Integrated Design Project, students will be able to:
- Deeply formulate a civil engineering infrastructure problem including identifying stakeholder needs and problem constraints beyond the superficial.
- Exercise design skills on a civil engineering problem to provide creative, original, and feasible solutions.
- Engage critically with their own designs to evaluate quality and develop resilience to iterative changes in design.
- Effectively communicate a design to a variety of audiences using visual, written and oral presentation techniques.
- Operate effectively in a team environment showing respect for alternative perspective and building productive relationships.
- Apply prior knowledge and understanding from education, personal and professional experience to solve a design problem on a civil engineering project.
- Identify and acquire new knowledge and understanding required for design, and subsequently apply it to a civil engineering project.
