Civil Engineering
Projects
Each Civil and Environmental Engineering team is responsible for developing a design that addresses environmental, geotechnical, hydrological, pavement, transportation, and structural issues for the project. A student project manager coordinates each team. Design reports are judged by the faculty; progress reports and the oral presentations are judged by a board of practicing professionals.
The Spring 2018 project and teams were:
CE 495 SENIOR DESIGN IN CIVIL & ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING
Michigan State University Wilson Road Extension
Michigan State University has proposed a new entrance/exit on the east side of campus. The Wilson Road extension will connect the existing Wilson Road to Hagadorn Road. Figure 1 depicts the planned routing as designed by the student teams. This project was identified in the 2020 Vision (campus master plan). In addition to reconfiguring and reconstructing Wilson Road, Fee Road, and Parking Lots 30 and 32, this project will install a new traffic signal at the intersection of Conrad Road and Shaw Lane and the intersection of Wilson Road at Hagadorn Road. The university has proposed a water tower to replace the function of the water reservoir on campus at a location in the southwest of the site. The water tower must be connected to a proposed water treatment plant located immediately south of the railroad tracks. In addition, Conrad Hall is proposed to be expanded or replaced to function as a residential hall. The building expansion is expected vertically covering the existing footprint of the current building.
The preliminary engineering design must identify infrastructure improvements necessary to procure this project for construction. Elements of the design require the services of an engineer for transportation, pavements, geotechnical, structures, hydrology, environmental, and project management. This project is to be developed for construction starting spring of 2018. The project shall be opened to traffic by October 2018. The project will improve the water distribution in the region. It will improve vehicular, pedestrian, and bicycle safety.
