EWRI 2003 Parsons Brinkerhoff Capstone Design Contest

Currently all undergraduate civil engineering programs are required to include a "capstone" design experience and schools are strongly urged to require their students to work in teams. Finalist teams will compete at the EWRI Congress. Each student team will orally present their project to a panel of industry judges during a special session at the conference. Each team will receive up to $1000 for travel reimbursement and a one-year membership in EWRI.
