Bring on learners from UND to be your learner-consultants, in a project-based experience. Learners will work on one main project over the experience of the semester, connecting with you as needed with virtual communication tools.
Learners in this program/experience can:
- Understand the principles of engineering project management and team working.
- Complete an information search, identify relevant codes, and determine project constraints.
- Work as a member of a team to design a “real-life” engineering project in one of the primary civil engineering areas, e.g., environmental, geotechnical, structural, transportation, or water resources, but having multidisciplinary engineering and project management aspects.
- Evaluate various preliminary design alternatives, prepare preliminary design reports, and select an option for the final design.
- Complete a preliminary design, write a design report and prepare a PowerPoint/oral presentation related to the design.
Deliverables are negotiable, and will seek to align the needs of the learners and the organization.
Some final project deliverables might include:
- A 10-15 minute presentation on key findings and recommendations
- A detailed report including their research, analysis, insights and recommendations
- Research paper.

Project Examples
Learners in groups of 3-5 will work with your company to identify your needs and provide actionable recommendations, based on their in-depth research and analysis.
Project activities that learners can complete may include, but are not limited to:
Any civil Engineering project either prototype or research in these area: Water, Environment, Transportation, Foundation, and Structural.
Companies must answer the following questions to submit a match request to this experience:
Be available for a quick phone/virtual call with the instructor to initiate your relationship and confirm your scope is an appropriate fit for the experience.
Provide a dedicated contact person who is available for weekly/bi-weekly drop-ins to address learners’ questions as well as periodic messages over the duration of the project.
How is your project relevant to the experience?
