(ABET a) Commentary: A technical core of knowledge and breadth of coverage in mathematics, science and civil engineering topics is stressed in this outcome. Underlying the professional role of the civil engineer as the master integrator and technical leader are most of the following: mathematics through differential equations, probability and statistics, calculus- based physics, biology, chemistry, ecology, geology/geomorphology, engineering economics, mechanics, material properties, systems, geo-spatial representation, and information technology.

Each project begins with identification of the Project Partner’s needs and the definition of a project to meet that need. It then progresses through design, development, testing and deployment with the Project Partner. This process typically takes two or more years, thus providing the students with sufficient time to master the many different aspects of an engineering design project, including: exploration of design alternatives, project planning and management, team leadership, technical innovation, design revisions, and economic considerations.While one or sometimes

In contrast to Session 8 and 11 where optimization meant finding “the best” solution by a numeric value, the rules allowed the students to find a “better” design out of a field of competing good designs.Assessment criteria are a natural part of problem solving. Not only do they allow students toidentify a good solution, but they also provide a means for the students to explain why thesolution is good. This basic level of understanding is necessary for learning that is more thansuperficial.The accessibility of the assessment criteria is also important. The students must be able to applythe criteria to shape their solution. In each of the high-engagement sessions the criteria wereeasily mastered by the
