Project Duration

Aug 2013 – Jul 2016

Project Description

To develop the engineering identity among final year civil engineering students, this project intends to provide authentic design experiences to students in the capstone design course CIVL4950. The course structure is a full simulation of real-life workplace in civil engineering consulting firms, in a way that the students enrolled into this course are given a real construction project under planning in Hong Kong as a case study.

Project Outcome

The simulated approach has been implemented in a two credit capstone design course for final year civil engineering students.

The entire course can be seen as a full simulation of the real-life workplace in civil engineering consulting firms.
