    Shawn Reasonover completed a civil engineering capstone project where he redesigned Virginia Avenue under the mentorship of civil engineer Misty Christian. Through site visits and hands-on experience, Shawn learned about local construction processes, tools, and regulations. He also reflected on the importance of planning, learning from mistakes, and following the engineering design process of defining problems, researching solutions, selecting the best design, testing and refining prototypes, and presenting the final project.
