The planning grant is to develop a curriculum to incorporate the civil engineering Body of Knowledge and Sustainable Design through an Active Urban Laboratory. The proposed planning project has several unique attributes will transform the way Civil Engineering is taught in the classrooms and will provide a truly positive learning experience for the students. One feature of the project is to make Civil Engineering education knowledge based process not just a learning mechanism. Another feature of this project is the focus on interdisciplinary engineering approach to provide the student with the knowledge of engineering design, environmental impact, sustainable design and construction, transportation issues, public policy, and construction management.As a result, the civil engineering students will combine lecture style education with real life experimental project. The junior and senior students are participating in the planning, analysis, design and construction of an actual structural system. Those students are now working under the supervision of the teacher and the industrial partners. Every student in the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department will accumulate within the last two year of undergraduate education at least 120 hours of professional experience in a design office, at a construction site or at construction management office. Those 120 hours are equivalent three courses in engineering. The experiential learning of the students at Manhattan College will be a process, starting with experimental work in college laboratories (Mechanics, Structures, Fluids, Geotechnical) and then applied experimental work in Active Urban laboratories.

计划赠款是开发一项课程，以通过活跃的城市实验室结合土木工程的知识和可持续设计。拟议的计划项目具有几个独特的属性，将改变教室中土木工程的教学方式，并为学生提供真正积极的学习体验。该项目的一个特征是使基于土木工程教育知识的过程不仅是一种学习机制。该项目的另一个特征是专注于跨学科工程方法，为学生提供工程设计，环境影响，可持续设计和建筑，运输问题，公共政策和建筑管理的知识。因此，土木工程学生将与现实生活实验项目相结合讲座风格的教育。初级和高级学生正在参加实际结构系统的计划，分析，设计和构建。这些学生现在正在老师和工业伙伴的监督下工作。土木和环境工程系中的每个学生将在本科教育的最后两年内积累至少120小时的专业经验，在设计办公室，建筑工地或建筑管理办公室。这120个小时是工程学的同等学历。曼哈顿学院学生的体验学习将是一个过程，从大学实验室（机械，结构，流体，岩土技术）的实验性工作开始，然后在活跃的城市实验室中应用实验性工作。
