Integrated Environmental Design

Description from DukeHub

Student design teams complete a preliminary design of an actual environmental engineering project and present the design to a panel of civil engineering faculty and practitioners. A written technical report is required. Topics to be addressed include: the design process; cost estimation; legal, ethical, and social aspects of professional engineering practice; short-term and long-term design serviceability considerations. Open only to civil engineering students during their final two semesters. Prerequisites: Civil and Environmental Engineering 461L, 462L, and 463L.

AI-resilient: 2 of 5 2/5

• No: Physical, lab or field work
• ✓Yes: Live work with people · "teams"
• ✓Yes: Judgment someone is accountable for · "legal"
• No: A craft you practice with your hands or body
• No: Small, in-person format

The checks lean on Microsoft Research, Working with AI (2025), which found generative AI applies least to physical work and hands-on work with people. A signal, not a promise. How the score works
