| Abstract | The Dept. of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the United States Air Force Academy has developed a capstone senior level integration experience that blends technical aspects of an engineering design with construction and realistic issues of modern society. Drawing from previous technical designs done by the students done prior to this course, the students review the technical design and prepare the project for construction through incorporating engineering standards and considering realistic issues such as the economy, constructability, and environmental aspects, as well as ethical, health and safety constraints. The students prepare a final design report and make an oral presentation to an interdisciplinary panel of engineering faculty. |
