Prerequisites None Description Individual research projects conducted in conjunction with and under the direction of a CEE faculty member in a research environment. Participation by invitation, and agreement with individual faculty members.
Project culminates in a thesis and presentation.
Outcomes Students will obtain a broad education necessary to understand the impact of civil engineering solutions in a global, societal, and environmental context consistent with the principles of sustainable development. Students will obtain an ability to solve civil engineering problems in practice by applying fundamental knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering, and by using modern engineering techniques, skills, and tools, particularly recognizing the role that computers play in engineering. Students will obtain an ability to identify, formulate, and solve civil engineering problems, particularly the planning, design, construction, and operation of systems, components, or processes that meet specified performance, cost, time, safety, and quality needs and objectives. Students will obtain an ability to design and conduct experiments, and to analyze and interpret data within the various civil engineering specialty disciplines. Students will obtain an ability to function and communicate effectively both individually, and within multidisciplinary teams.
