Project 101

1. Cover Page. Write the title of the U.S and the international projects and the names of the team members. (1 page-Cover Page format will be provided by the instructor)

2. Table of contents. (1 page)

3. The main body of the paper should include the following (8 -12 pages):

I. Introduction i. Purpose of the projects. Why were they built? Identify who designed

them, who constructed them, when was the construction started and completed, how much did it cost.

II. Technical discussion i. Describe the main functions of the projects. ii. Design.

1. Describe the engineering design solutions for the projects a. Structural design. What are the unique aspects of the

structures? Include design drawings, if available b. Foundation design. What type of foundation was used

and why? Include design details, if available c. Others. Include important design features.

2. Compare the projects and analyze the impact of local cultural, societal and environmental issues on the specific design solutions adopted for the project in both countries(i.e. availability of materials, different design and environmental impact standards, population issues etc.)

iii. Construction. 1. Describe the construction work for each project and compare

the construction processes in the two countries. 2. Highlight the features of each project that made it unique.

III. Conclusion i. Provide a brief summary of the projects. What are the major issues

that engineers faced with the projects? ii. How were they solved and what is the unique aspect of the solution? iii. What did you learn from this project?

IV. References. Use at least five references to describe the engineering design aspect of the identified projects. References from journals and technical reports are required.

You may include relevant tables and figures.
