What exactly is a capstone project? And is this it?

Professor Moorthy wants us to start on this now and finish before the end of the semester
He said we need to design a working draw bridge with proper scaled dynamics for the Mississippi River here in Baton Rouge, but that doesn’t seem necessary or even possible
I’m thinking about going with a truss or cantilever instead, but I don’t want to fail since he states it has to be a draw bridge

So he told you, yet you're asking us?

I plan on working for the state if I graduate

You sound like a great student

Build it per customer spec. This is a lesson you need to learn now.... First draft is always to customer specs, let them realize their own stupidity before you submit the real workable solution

Sounds like a great engineering project, but a horrible investment. You should email him back and say you regret you will miss the deadline bc your study is taking longer than planned. Obligatory, it will never be finished on time.

Did you even pay attention in 4750?

My kid's capstone project is hacking his unversity's network and reporting the vulnerabilities he finds.
Dude got a $2000 grant to buy equipment and approval from the campus CIO. He wants to work in ITSEC so this is a relative dream come true for him

If you're at LSU capstone projects are proving you've completed your re-education and denouncing your whiteness.

Civil engineers and their bridges... as a chemical engineer who works with a ton of civils, I get tired of hearing about all the bridges y’all have to design

A capstone project is the last or ultimate project in the program or class. We took a capstone course in business school that was meant to touch on just about everything we learned in business school.

Tell him you are going to need funding for the catered focus group meetings and some payouts for the "community leaders" in the areas where you plan to build. You will need some bags of cash for the building inspectors and the Planning and Zoning Commission as well.
Stick with the OT, you will get an A.
FWIW, the guy who said the part about to Customer specs is correct. I am a Capstone Sponsor for years now. A couple of years back my teams initial design was nothing (at all) like what I asked for in the specs. They were being lazy and trying to skate for an A. We got them all in a conf room, with their Faculty Adviser and the Dean, and I told them that if they were a hired firm I would fire them on the spot. The looks on their faces was priceless.

Unless it’s a competitive turnkey bid. In which case you ignore all customer specs and clarify on page 18 of 203 that the bridge will be built out of recycled toothpicks.

I don’t see economically feasible in the equation. Without that constraint, I would think the project is doable. Now, I have no clue about engineering so I may not be the right person to ask in that front.

Tell him you'll need JBE to commission a 30 million dollar, 10 year study on it before moving forward.

The bridge in St. Francisville wasn't necessary, but when some asshat politician earmarks money for a stupid arse project, it gets done, regardless of have stupid it is.
I mean it's definitely possible. If you build a bridge south of the current I10 bridge, it has to be as high as that one. Maybe there are big savings to build a lower draw bridge, and maybe the need for that drawbridge to be in action isnt' very often. but that's thinking like a common sense realistic person, and there's no way that type of thought is going on in gov't work.
