Cadets in #USAFA's Civil Engineering Practices course moved beyond the classroom and into streams and watersheds, applying engineering principles in real-world environments.
 
Through hands-on fieldwork, they learned how water moves through natural and engineered systems while developing the technical expertise and engineering judgment needed to support military operations, installation resilience and critical infrastructure.
