• Starting in the Fall 2024 semester, students enrolled in CE 491 and CE 492 will be required to complete two distinct graduation design projects. While the CE 492 project may build on the CE 491 project, a separate and substantially different design report must be submitted for each course. • CE 491 and CE 492 courses introduce students in engineering design by engaging them in practical, real-world projects. It equips students with a comprehensive understanding of current engineering practices while emphasizing the need to apply sustainable methods and sound principles to their designs. Depending on the project, students may work independently or collaborate in teams (maximum 4 students in a team). • Based on the problem selected, students will propose a design process for the problem specific civil engineering system or process and apply the proposed design to the selected problem under the supervision of their advisors. • Before choosing a supervisor and a graduation design project topic, students are encouraged to explore the professors' web pages to become familiar with their research areas. • Students are required to select their supervisor during the registration period and arrange a weekly meeting time with them during the first week of the semester. • A graduation design project topic must be submitted by the third week to the supervisors, followed by a proposal form submission in the fourth week. • An interim presentation of the project proposal and preliminary design will take place in the 10th week. The final design will be presented during the final examination period at the end of the semester. • The evaluation form and grading details, and the project template are provided in this anouncement. |
