Fall 2026 Lecture Laboratory Upper Division
The capstone senior design course for construction engineering (CNE) major. Working in teams in a realistic engineering practice environment, students use an actual construction project to accomplish open-ended project planning and systems design. Course covers construction project strategy, cost estimating and bidding, constructability analysis, project scheduling, contract conditions, project organization, site analysis and development, safety and quality management, and information systems design. Comprehensive written submittals and oral presentations require integration of knowledge gained in previous courses and in construction internships.
Learning Outcomes1Know phases and aspects of construction project planning, engineering, and management at the project level.
2Know complexities and uncertainties of planning and decision-making in a realistic environment.
3Know how construction activities by the constructor are influenced by owner needs and project design basis and features.
4Demonstrate methods and skills of oral and written communication.
