CEGR 492 - Senior Review and Project Proposal
2 Credits
One lecture hours. four practicum hours.
This course, typically undertaken in student’s penultimate semester, has two parts: (1) Lecture (Senior Project Proposal) - during which student develops, in concert with a faculty advisor (for some projects, it is also desirable that the student select an advisor from industry, in addition to the faculty advisor), the technical proposal for the Senior Design Project, and (2) Practicum - comprehensive review of the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) civil-discipline-specific examination topics and mock-FE examinations. A brief initial part of the practicum reviews technical report writing and presentation for engineers and development of a design project proposal. Two 4-hour mock-FE exams (simulating the A.M. and P.M. sessions of the FE exam) serve as the program’s Comprehensive examination, as well as an assessment of the practicum part of the course. The final grade in the course is a combination of the faculty advisor’s evaluation of the student’s project proposal effort and written report, and the student’ performance in the mock-FE exams and other aspects of the practicum. Civil Engineering students of at least junior standing may be allowed, with department approval, to audit the review class portion without financial obligation.

However, this second semester of the two-semester CEGR 492 -493 sequence should be spent on finalizing preliminary design and analysis, as well as completion of detailed design and possible optimization, creation of a design project report of acceptable format, conclusion of student’s electronic portfolio, and a formal delivery of a PowerPoint (or similar) presentation of the project to an audience of faculty, students and others. The grade for this course is based upon two components: (1) the advisor’s assessment of the student’s progress through the entire design project and the quality of the written technical report and (2) department’s assessment of the student’s up-to-date electronic portfolio; and assessment, by the attending department faculty, of the content and the quality of the presentation made by the student.
