Perform the design of a complex civil engineering system [contributes to SO 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]. 3. Present the results of the design project in a formal, written report [contributes to SO 2, 3, 5, 6]. 1 . Report the results of the design project in a formal oral and graphical presentation [contributes to SO 2, 3, 5, 6]. Relationship of Course to Student Outcomes:

This course contributes to the following program outcomes: 1. an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics. (R) 2. an ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors. (R) 3. an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences. (R) 4. an ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed Jjudgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts. (R) 5. an ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives. (R) 6. an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions. 7. an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies. (R) Class/laboratory schedule: 150 minutes of meetings per week Contribution of course to professional education: This course is the capstone course, which prepares students to work professionally in the field of civil engineering. Academic Support Services Available I encourage you to utilize the academic support services available to you through the Tomés Rivera Center (TRC) to assist you with building study skills and tutoring and Supplemental Instruction in course content. These services are available at no additional cost to you. The TRC has several locations at the Main Campus and is also located at the Downtown Campus. For more information, visit the web site at www.utsa.edu/tress or call (210) 458-4694 on the Main Campus and (210) 458-2838 on the Downtown Campus. Students with disabilities are encouraged to consult with the UTSA Disability Services ( ) for arrangements accommodating any special needs. Common Syllabus Information Evaluation methods: Progress reports and the final report are evaluated by the CEE Advisory Board based on the technical content and presentation. Performance criteria: Course outcomes 1 through 4 are evaluated using evaluation method [1]. In addition, the course and the overall program performance is evaluated by the CEE Advisory Board.

Students are advised to check the place corresponding to CE4813 periodically for project information. Each student has been assigned a lonestar e- mail account. This e-mail will be used to send general information about the class. Attendance Attendance to the progress reports, final report and PE presentations is required. A student that fails to attend the Final Presentation most likely will received and F in the class. Grading by Peers At the submission of the Final Report each student must submit a confidential evaluation of each of the members in his/her team. Project Web Sites All project information: Calculations, Forms, Plans, Estimates, Specifications will be posted online. Suggested online sites are: weebly.com, www.tumblr.com, webs.com. Each submission (50%, and 100%) will require a hard copy of the plans. Policy on Scholastic Dishonesty: Any scholastic dishonesty (cheating, plagiarism, collusion, etc) on homework, quizzes, and lab forms will result in a zero on the assignment if it occurs on projects, papers, or examinations it will result in a Failing grade in the class. Please refer to the UTSA’s Student Code of Conduct as related to scholastic dishonesty and the disciplinary actions involved ( http://www.utsa.edu/infoguide/appendices/b.html). Additional information can be obtained from the Office of Student Conduct and Community Standards (http://utsa.edu/studentlife/conduct/ ). UTSA Creed and Honor Code Please go to the following links: www.utsa.edu/about/creed_ www.utsa.edu/about/creed/honorcode. htm! Any scholastic dishonesty (cheating, plagiarism, collusion, etc.) on homework will result in a zero on the assignment (you will receive 1 wamning). If it occurs on projects, papers, or examinations it will result in a Failing grade in the class. All violations will be reported to the Office of Student Conduct and Community Standards. If you have any questions about this, please stop by my office and I'd be happy to discuss it with you. Using the solutions manual, internet websites, other people, or Chegg.com to complete the assignment as your own work without giving credit or gaining access to information not available to you is considered scholastic dishonesty. Importance of Course Evaluation Professors use feedback provided by students in course evaluation to improve their teaching and the feedback it is also used by the University as one factor in evaluating the instructor’s effectiveness
