The Common Academic Program (CAP) is an innovative curriculum that is the foundation of a University of Dayton education. It is a learning experience that is shared in common among all undergraduate students, regardless of their major. Some CAP requirements must be fulfilled by courses taken at UD (e.g., Capstone and Diversity and Social Justice). Some major requirements must also be fulfilled by courses taken at UD. Students should consult with their advisor regarding applicability of transfer credit to fulfill CAP and major program requirements.

Prerequisites: CEE 333, CEE 403, CEE 411, CEE 412, CEE 424, CEE 434, Student may take any 2 out of these 6 courses to meet the prerequisite needed for CEE 450; This is changed from the previous requirement of 4 out of these 6 courses needed prior to taking CEE 450.
CEE 451L. Capstone Design I. 2 Hours
This course is the first course in a two-course sequence that culminates the major engineering design experience in the Civil Engineering program. Students will participate in civil engineering projects; incorporate appropriate engineering standards and codes; and will address multiple realistic constraints including, but not limited to, economic, environmental and societal constraints. This is accomplished within a framework where they integrate their previously acquired fundamental engineering knowledge and benefit from guidance provided by mentors who are practicing civil engineers from industry. Students form multidisciplinary design teams, work on real-world civil engineering projects, develop multiple conceptual design solutions, and prepare a draft technical report, which includes a detailed scope of work, a poster, and an oral presentation.
Prerequisites: Senior standing and have completed one area of specialty from the six civil engineering specialty areas shown below: Construction (CEE 421), Transportation (CEE 403), Geotechnical (CEE 424), Water Resources (CEE 333), Environmental (CEE 434), Structures (CEE 411 or CEE 412).
Corequisites: Concurrently taking a minimum of two courses from the reminder of the six specialty areas shown above, and pursuing courses in the selected CEE or SEE minor or one approved by the chair of CEE advisor.
CEE 452L. Capstone Design II. 2 Hours
This course is the second course in a two-course sequence that culminates the major engineering design experience in the Civil Engineering Program. Students will build on the work they completed in CEE 451. Teams will finalize design solutions, evaluate cost, study constructability, and consider the safety, public health, social, environmental, and sustainable impacts of their designs. Each student will evaluate their solutions against requirements, considering risks, and making trade- offs, for the purpose of obtaining a high-quality solution under the given circumstances. An oral presentation, technical report, and technical drawings documenting the students’ solution is required at the completion of the project. The primary goal of CEE 452 is to replicate the same design experience that students will encounter when they enter the workforce.
Prerequisites: CEE 451L.
Corequisites: Attempting the remaining courses in the selected CEE or SEE minor or one approved by the chair of CEE.
