ENG471 Civil Engineering Topic Tree - Cadet Engineer (72)

The core of the engineering curriculum is the Civil Engineering Topic Tree.  The overall Topic Tree contains around 1,000 topics, covering the range of different specialties within civil engineering.  Students complete these topics in a mastery learning paradigm, with linkages between the topics indicated by required pre-requisite knowledge.  This subject takes the student through the Topic Tree to complete the topics necessary to be ready to commence a capstone project prior to graduating as a civil engineer.
