Engineering ethics; professional topics; preparation for the profession of civil and environmental engineering.

Microbiological and biochemical properties of microorganisms important in environmental engineering practice. General fundamentals of microbiology and application to drinking water treatment and distribution, water pollution control, and natural systems.

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.

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.

Chemical equilibrium principles of acids-bases, dissolution-precipitation, oxidation-reduction, and complexation applied to understanding the chemistry of surface waters, groundwaters, and water and wastewater treatment.

Design, selection, and use of instrumentation for geotechnical engineering purposes. Laboratory and field instrumentation considered. Topics include: purpose of instrumentation, planning projects, procurement of instruments and services, measuring devices, and examples of applications. Lab demonstration.

Chemical equilibrium principles of acids-bases, dissolution-precipitation, oxidation-reduction, and complexation applied to understanding the chemistry of surface waters, groundwaters, and water and wastewater treatment.

Applications of traffic flow theory involving traffic flow modeling at varying levels of details using manually-generated and commercially-available transportation simulation tools. Fundamentals involved in transportation simulation such as random number generation, input/output analysis, and macroscopic and microscopic traffic flow models.
