The City of West Burlington seeks an evaluation and redesign of its downtown area to enhance functionality and visual appeal, facilitating public events and attracting visitors. For the capstone project, a group of engineering students will design for improved durability and access of roads, develop an efficient green stormwater management system, and enhance walkability through streetscape development. The project will incorporate plantings and lighting around the streets near City Hall to create a more attractive and accessible environment. 

Students in the Civil and Environmental Engineering program will evaluate and redesign an abandoned industrial site for public use, enhanced community access, and promotion of recreational activities. The senior capstone project involves evaluating the site's potential for multiple public uses and highlighting the riverfront in the redevelopment plan. Additionally, amenities will be designed to support the proposed public uses, creating a vibrant and accessible riverfront area for the community. 

As part of the Senior Design Capstone Course, a team of students will design a single, centralized facility to combine the City of Burlington's Parks and Forestry Departments. This new building will streamline services and improve efficiency. Key tasks include developing the building concept, determining the architectural style, planning the layout, designing structural elements, and creating the site design, which encompasses drainage, parking, and access considerations. The team will also provide a phasing plan and cost

The City of Burlington hopes to adapt several industrial buildings that are not currently in use. As part of their capstone work, students in Civil and Environmental Engineering will evaluate and redesign the former Dial Soap Building into a mixed-use residential structure. Key tasks include evaluating the building's structural health, developing the building concept, determining the architectural style, and planning the layout and structural design.

Plans for a new subdivision to be located in New Sharon will be designed by students in Civil and Environmental Engineering as part of their capstone. 

Students in Civil and Environmental Engineering will provide designs for combining two existing buildings into one, multi-use structure. 

As part of their Senior Design capstone project, a team of civil & environmental engineering students will provide designs, preliminary engineering reports, and cost estimates for a variety of improvements to county parks in Jefferson County. 

For their capstone projects, students in Civic and Environmental Engineering created designs, alternatives, scheduling, and costs to update a community center. Their work focused on several aspects of the building:  the parking lot, the building's entryway, layout and partition of the mainfloor, and connectivity of upstairs meeting room to entryway. 

For their final capstone project, students in Civil and Environmental Engineering designed a site plan for a subdivision on a currently vacant property in West Burlington. The plans maximize the number of single-family homes that can be developed and includes a pocket park and trail.

For their capstone project, Civil and Environmental Engineering students provided analysis, recommendations, designs, and costs to address flooding in West Burlington's Luers Park. 

Roughly 80% of West Burlington's stormwater drains into Luer’s Park, which in turn flows into Izaak Walton Lake to the north. The lake is experiencing severe erosion and sedimentation build-up. Its current outflow structure is unable to discharge an adequate volume of water. 

For their capstone project, students in Civil and Environmental Engineering designed a 10-foot wide trail that includes pedestrian cross improvements at several intersections. The trail will improve pedestrian safety and mobility for people traveling to and from essential shopping areas, schools, a medical center, senior housing, and recreation spaces. 

As part of their Senior Design Capstone course, Civil & Environmental Engineering students created site plans and designs for a small sustainability-focused "EcoVillage" in the unincorporated community of Scotch Grove, located in Jones County.
