This approach to active project-based learning offers aunique hands-on experience that engineering students typically appreciate.I. IntroductionThere is a significant need to expose undergraduate engineering students to real life engineeringprojects rather than a simulated project that is more hypothetical than practical1. Unfortunately,practical projects are too often left to the senior capstone course2. However, engineeringstudents upon entering college need exposure to practical projects to better prepare themselves asfuture engineering practitioners. It is important for engineering students to understand that thestudy of engineering by nature is both

American Society for Engineering Education, 2020 Building Bridges – Spanning the gap between the classroom and professional practiceOne of the ABET Inc. civil engineering program requirements is for the curriculum to preparegraduates to design a system, component, or process in at least two civil engineering contexts.Additionally, ABET Inc. requires the curriculum to include a culminating major engineeringdesign experience that incorporates appropriate engineering standards and multiple constraints, and isbased on the knowledge and skills acquired in earlier course work. While there are various ways toaccomplish these requirements, many programs use a capstone design project or experience. Thepaper outlines how the civil engineering program at

. Structuraldesign courses are typically taught in a longitudinal order. Students first take a structural analysiscourse followed by one or more design courses (e.g., reinforced concrete design or steel design).There is some repetition among the design course topics, but they primarily cover their ownunique material behavior. Students are often left to imagine or connect these topics on their own,in a capstone style course towards the end of their education or during their first years ofemployment. Unfortunately, some students graduate with a misunderstanding of the trueprocesses used in structural design. Time restrictions and civil engineering program limitationslead to this quandary. The goal of this project was to integrate the same design

Indeed, recentresearch makes this argument, that college engineering Capstone programs would be even moresuccessful if students were exposed to project-based learning earlier in their schooling.18Despite the ambiguity that often occurs in open-ended, project-based assignments, we learnedfrom students and our reflections that instructors should do the following to minimizeambiguities: • Provide a clear time-line of expected deliverables and due dates. • Provide grading criteria up front. • Make available numerous examples of each deliverable. • And provide regular, substantive feedback throughout the process
