B.S. Civil Engineering Degree Requirements
Sample Senior Design Projects
All engineering seniors participate in a year-long team project that combines a real project with a diverse group of experienced professionals. No two projects are alike! Below are sample projects from recent years.
Bringing Netherland’s Sustainable Practices to GU
Challenge: Use suggestions from the 91³Ô¹ÏÍø in Delft Sustainability course to address issues in transportation, water management, and building energy on campus.
Design: Seven concepts for North Astor and Cataldo Way include stormwater infiltration basins, green facades, bicycle and pedestrian priority areas.
Construction of Cle Elum Dam Fish Passage Structure
Sponsor: GARCO Construction
Challenge: Design a shoring system taking the lake's changes in water surface elevation.
Design: Includes an excavation support system, construction sequence, and plan drawings of soldier pile walls, wood lagging and tiebacks.
The team completed a geotechnical and hydrological analysis to determine site constraints, then drafted in AutoCAD.
