The course is aimed at the development of conceptual and applied design skills through discussions, meetings and laboratory work involving the completion of a civil engineering design project. Graduation project inlcude multiple major aspects of the civil engineering profession (such as structural, transportation, geotechnical, water and Environment) and require the use of engineering software for project management such as MS project and Primavera Project Planner.

The project experiences is intended to develop students skill in problem solving, team work, design, innovation, use information technology, engineering, ethics, and social responsibility.

Students are expected to complete a design project that demonstrates the skills and knowledge gained through applying engineering principles to solve a design problem.

Students work in teams of three to four to solve an engineering design problem. Every team is required to choose a real-world project. Teams are supervised by faculty members and instructors who oversee, guide and monitor progress in the project.

Every group is required to maintain a record of all project activities in a project logbook which will be inspected regularly by the project supervisor.
