Note from June 29, 2020
Although we do not yet know how long the social distancing related to the Covid-19 pandemic will last, and regardless of the changes that had to be made in the evaluation of the June 2020 session in relation to what is provided for in this learning unit description, new learnig unit evaluation methods may still be adopted by the teachers; details of these methods have been - or will be - communicated to the students by the teachers, as soon as possible.

Content
This project deals with all the disciplines of civil engineering. The theme is chosen based on the data available at the time of the project, usually based on a real project, completed or in progress.
It can be for instance:
- A concrete or steel or timber (foot)bridge;
- A hydraulic engineering structure (dam, lock, ...);
- An underground or urban structure (tunnel, road, metro ...);
- A hydraulic structure like a water tower;
- The development of a technical landfill site.
Volume 1 will focus on the concepts of project management and on the review of design and calculation methods.
Volume 2 will focus on the project itself via workshops.
