Expectation of Culminating Design ExperienceAbstractThe Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) of ABET requires that the programcurriculum provides a culminating design experience that prepares students for engineeringpractice. Emphasis is placed on how this experience is based upon the knowledge and skillsacquired in earlier coursework and incorporates appropriate engineering standards and multipledesign constraints. In many Civil Engineering programs, capstone projects are associated with anadvanced course with emphasis on one concentration area. Even though students mayincorporate components outside of their concentration areas, it is rather minimal. This narrowsstudent’s culminating design experience to that specific concentration area
