Paper Description

Edit Paper Description Content

An introduction to the concept of design thinking in terms of identifying the user's needs, ideation, and evaluating prototypes within the field of civil engineering. Technical aspects of this course cover conceptual design, design calculations, engineering drawings, testing of structural elements, and the construction and testing of structures.

The learning outcomes for this paper are linked to Washington Accord graduate attributes WA1-WA11. An explanation of the graduate attributes can be found at: https://www.ieagreements.org/assets/Uploads/Documents/IEA-Graduate-Attributes-and-Professional-Competencies-2021.1-Sept-2021.pdf
