ofroad design is the geometric design that focuses on locating the road on a topographic map.Introduction to Engineering Design is a laboratory-based course for first-year students at theauthors’ university. In this course, students work on a civil engineering-related project during thesemester. In the Spring 2019 and 2020 semesters, students were introduced to geometric designby working on a road design project. Three main sections were implemented in this project. Thefirst piece was understanding of topographic map. In this piece, students were asked to select anon-flat site located in the United States. The topographic map of the selected site was printedand provided to the students. Students were asked to draft the topographic map in
