everything an instructor needs for implementation: a summaryof learning objectives and module activities, lecture slides and notes, recommended readings, andan assignment for students.FALL 2017 3 ADVANCES IN ENGINEERING EDUCATION Utilizing Civil Engineering Senior Design Capstone Projects to Evaluate Students’ Sustainability Education across Engineering Curriculum The current state-of-the-practice for senior design focuses on the design elements from the primaryCEE sub-disciplines: Construction, Steel & Concrete Structures, Water Management and Infrastructure.The
