Theseyearlong, client-based projects have been the senior design capstone model at Rose-Hulmansince 1988.The four learning objectives for client-based, senior design projects include: (1)problem-based learning (of the civil engineering design process), (2) communication proficiency,(3) team-work skills, and (4) project management orientation. The year-long experience containsmany key elements and deliverables to achieve these learning objectives.In 2005, members of the civil engineering faculty decided it would be beneficial for students toventure into the international

As chronicled in ThomasFriedman’s best selling book, The World is Flat1, the advances made by engineers andtechnologists have made it possible for their work to be done nearly anywhere.
