There are many intricacies that can only be worked out through experienceand Senior Design (Capstone projects) are ideal for practicing the skills demanded by theglobal market. The real problem of global design comes when the members of the teamare not in the same country or speak the same language. How can current design methodsthat depend so much on clear easy communication be used effectively with global teams?Design methods have only begun to be used on the Global scale.

The land lost because of rising sea levelswould need a correction in terms of datum and land that is sinking over a long period.
