Course Objectives:

The goal of this course is to provide complete and coherent set of information for civil engineering students concerning overall running of civil engineering work in a way including all steps of activities. This course introduces the students to professional practice. The students are involved in design work and emphasize the importance of planning, coordination, communication and technical report writing.

Course Content:

Students prepare a gradustion design project in different teams. The project achievements are identifying specific design objectives based on project requirements, gathering and using relevant information, and analyzing alternatives using appropriate engineering knowledge. The relevant constraints (economy, environmental ıssues/sustainability, manufacturability) are considered in the design.
