CVE 7902 - Civil Engineering Graduate Capstone II1 lecture hours 0 lab hours 3 credits
Course Description
This is the second of a two-course sequence that comprises an independent capstone project for the Master of Science in Civil Engineering degree program. The student will complete a project that presents a comprehensive solution to an advanced civil engineering problem. The project may be based on the student’s industrial experience, consist of experimental research, or consist of a theoretical, analytical, or numerical solution. The student will execute data collection, design strategies and/or technical analyses as laid out in CVE 7901 to complete the project. The student will compile and document the results in a formal capstone report, typically using the IMRAD (Introduction-Methods-Results-Analysis-Discussion) format.
Prereq: Graduate program director consent, CVE 7901 , CAE 7810
Note: Satisfactory progress and completion of CVE 7902 is to be determined by an academic committee typically composed of the faculty advisor and two faculty members.
Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- Complete an independent, advanced civil engineering project
- Produce the results of the project in a written capstone report that clearly conveys all technical information involved in the execution of the project and properly cites all scholarly references
- Communicate the results of the project clearly to a technical audience as part of the project oral defense
Prerequisites by Topic
- Knowledge in the student’s specialty area
Course Topics
- Determined by student and faculty advisor. Students are expected to meet, at a minimum, once weekly with the faculty advisor to consult on the progress of the project.
