GIS for Engineers

Introduction to fundamental principles and concepts necessary to carry out meaningful and appropriate geographic analysis with geographic information science (GIS). Reinforcement of key issues in GIS such as geographic coordinate systems, map projections, spatial analysis, use of remotely sensed data, and visualization of spatial data. Laboratory exercises use database query, database manipulation, and spatial analysis to address problems in hydrology, water treatment, renewable energy, and transportation with an emphasis on engineering design.

HighwayLocation&GeometricDsgn

Highway location and geometric design principles for streets and highways with emphasis on roadway safety. Includes state-of-the-art design policies and current research findings. AutoCAD and transportation design computer software used for class assignments and the class project. Prerequisite: CE-ENGIN 310

DesignReinforcedConcreteStruct

Analysis and design of reinforced concrete structures members using current design specifications. Flexural and shear design of beams; development length and bar cutoffs; design of columns using interaction diagrams; calculation of beam deflections. This course, taken with CE-Engin 488, satisfies the Integrative Experience requirement for BS-CE majors.

Engineering Geology

With lab. Interpretation of geology for the purpose of planning, siting, design, and construction of engineered facilities. Includes plate tectonics, mineral and rock identification, engineering geologic mapping, air photo interpretation, residual soils, glaciation, and engineering problems associated with geologic features. Prerequisite: CE-ENGIN 320.

Traffic Engineering

Fundamental principles of traffic flow and intersection traffic operations including traffic data collection methods, traffic control devices, traffic signal design, and analysis techniques. Emphasizes quantitative and computerized techniques for designing and optimizing intersection signalization. Several traffic engineering software packages used. Prerequisites: CE-ENGIN 310

Public Transportation Systems

A historical overview of public transportation and a summary of existing and future transit and paratransit systems and technologies; application of intelligent transportation system (ITS) technologies (including advanced communication, sensor, and information processing technologies) in the implementation of transit and paratransit operations; public transit systems costs, demand, pricing, and performance evaluation; project planning including routing, scheduling, preliminary design and ownership and organizational options; and systems planning.
