Fundamentals of Engineering for Honors II – Infrastructure

This course introduces students to 3D visualization and Computer Aided Design (CAD).  The students will learn how to create sketches by hand and how to model parts and assemblies in Dassault SolidWorks.  Through an infrastructure design project, students further their understanding of the engineering design and build process, improve their team working skills, and practice their oral and written presentation skills in a group setting.

Students in this course work alongside senior Civil and Environmental Engineering students, in their respective senior capstone classes, to help to document and develop an infrastructure or environmental project.  The focus of the project differs each year by capstone class.  At the end of the project, students present their design, findings, and/or recommendations to relevant industry experts in a professional setting.
