1 013 - Senior Civil and Environmental Engineering Design

Institution:

Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Subject:

Description:

Synthesizes prior design education through a semester long design project, concurrent smaller projects, lectures and related assignments. Students who have specialized in structural, geotechnical, engineering systems, and environmental areas form mixed teams to work on the projects. For the semester long project, which has to be planned and designed for a specific location, students demonstrate creativity in applying theories and methodologies from their design and analysis subjects while considering the project's technical, environmental, and social feasibility. Parallel to this design project are smaller projects involving actual building. Lectures on a variety of civil and environmental engineering projects, engineering practice and ethics, as well as field trips, are also part of the subject. Instruction and practice in oral and written communication are an integral part, culminating in the completion of the design portfolio.
