Students undertake a civil engineering design project under the supervision of a faculty member with the aim of achieving a comprehensive design experience through a coherent study of all applicable principles, strategies and methodologies of design, including construction operation, and maintenance as and when applicable. The project should also take into consideration other appropriate factors such as alternative designs, economic feasibility and social and environmental impacts. The student chooses the project in the field in which he is most familiar through his co-op work experience or summer training. The student is required to make an oral and written presentation of the design project to an examining committee.
