Build & test your levee
You're the Design Lead · Career lens: Civil Engineer
Build and test a levee. Use your measurements and test results to decide what needs to change.
Use accurate dimensions.
See how the levee performs.
Use evidence to support your decision.
Up next: Test & Revise — pour the flood and see what your levee does.

Ask AI to name one possible weakness in your levee. Then decide — with your own measurements — whether it's right.
You turn in your decision and your evidence.

Design a Resilient Community
Your team is redesigning a river town so it can survive a 100-year flood, hotter summers, and a growing population — without displacing the people who live there.
Today you're working at 1:50 scale — the same ratio math a civil engineer at Columbus Water Works, the city water utility, signs off on before the Chattahoochee rises.
