WHAT IS LDDI |
The Land Development Design Initiative (LDDI) is a collaborative effort of the Via Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering at Virginia Tech with industry practitioners. The Initiative has made significant strides to improve land development design education at Virginia Tech and increase student awareness of land development design as a career path. The Initiative also promotes the interaction between students and practitioners. LDDI now involves more than 70 engineering and land development firms, many of which provide financial support. This collaboration is focused on two primary objectives:
- Improving land development design education, including increasing student awareness of land development design as a career path
- Increasing interaction between practitioners and undergraduate civil engineering students at Virginia Tech
In support of these two objectives, LDDI has created a Curriculum and Course Enhancement Committee, an Outreach Committee, and a Practitioner Involvement Committee. If you have questions about LDDI or would like to become involved, please contact us!
LDDI’s success to date can be largely attributed to the generous financial support of our sponsoring firms. Participation in LDDI also provides the sponsoring firm with a number of benefits. Click here to see how becoming an LDDI sponsor can benefit your firm!
