A Unique Civil Engineering Capstone Design Course

Integrating Ethics into a Civil Engineering Course

Ethics is a critical component of Civil Engineering education and practice. This paper discusses a case study to integrate ethics into a required undergraduate Civil Engineering course -Civil Engineering Systems -at Georgia Institute of Technology. The course introduces systems and sustainability concepts in Civil Engineering planning, design, operations, and renewal, and thus presents an appro...

Work in progress - An agile embedded systems design capstone course

Embedded systems design has been characterized by the combination of two basic design methodologies: Hardware and Software. In this work in progress we incorporated Agile Project Management methodologies to a Computer Engineering Technology senior capstone course on product ideation, prototyping, demonstration and final presentation. As students were going through the course, they were; imprint...

An Online Tool for Capstone Design Course Communication

The communication requirements associated with the instruction of a Capstone Design course can be extensive. This paper describes a utility used to simplify and improve communication between the instruction team members, and communication from the instruction team to the student design groups. This resource is part of a larger suite of tools that make use of a MySQL database to keep record of i...
