Transportation Analysis & Plan

Advanced topics in transportation planning and analysis, including a review of linear regression, discrete choice model theory, estimation and applications, and traffic assignment model theory and applications with a computer programming component. Topics covered vary across semesters. Supplemented by scholarly publications that reflect the current research development in travel behavior modeling, transportation demand forecasting, traffic network modeling and optimization.

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.

Water Chemistry

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.

Geotechnical Instrumentation

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.
