CEE 442
Seattle Campus
Comprehensive team design project focusing on structural and geotechnical engineering. Requires design drawings, written reports, and oral presentations interfacing with related fields such as aesthetics and architecture, mechanical systems, traffic, environmental planning. Prerequisite: CEE 440; two courses from CEE 436, CEE 451, CEE 452, CEE 453, CEE 454, or CEE 457.
Class description
The goal of this course is to provide students with experience in structural and geotechnical engineering design practice. Students will (1) apply engineering principles obtained in other classes to the design of structural and geotechnical engineering systems, (2) improve their written and oral communication skills, and (3) gain experience working in groups.
Student learning goals
General method of instruction
To simulate professional practice as much has possible, the class work will be conducted in a manner similar to that expected in professional engineering offices. There will be no lectures, exams or homework assignments in the course. Instead, the class sessions will be used for questions, discussions, group work and coordination among teams and team members.
Recommended preparation
This course is directed towards seniors in civil and environmental engineering who have already taken several senior courses in structural and geotechnical engineering.
