c American Society for Engineering Education, 2012 Integrating The Charrette Process into Engineering Education: A Case Study on a Civil Engineering Capstone CourseABSTRACTAs engineering educators rethink the structure and value of capstone courses, many have turnedto practical applications. In order to reflect the recent approaches within engineering, capstonecourses can be enhanced through the integration of charrettes. Charrettes are hands-on,collaborative sessions where stakeholders come to a design consensus. These sessions provideopportunities for students to improve communication, technical evaluation, teamwork, peerevaluation and professionalism skills. This research provides a framework for adapting thecharrette

The team had to learnbasic architecture, analyze the structure, design key structural members, design a water andwastewater system, analyze rock samples from the site location, and compare costs between thedifferent design options. In addition to the extreme structural loading aspects on top of amountain, the water and wastewater system designs were particularly daunting because of thelarge elevation

These included items such as: rules-of- thumb for design (i.e. span-to-depth ratios and min. thicknesses) in each material, including procedures and charts used to teach architecture students structures. Both steel and concrete mini-projects were broken down into 4 Parts for each course (Table 2).
