Introduction to finite element method in engineering science. Derivation of element equations by physical, variational, and residual methods. Associated computer coding techniques and numerical methods. Applications. Prerequisites: programming ability, ordinary differential equations, basic matrix algebra. Same as M&I-ENGIN 605.

Expands on the basic design methods of CE-ENGIN 434. Includes plate girder design, composite steel and concrete member design, overall structure considerations, and other topics both extending on previous class descriptions as well as entirely new concepts. Prerequisite: CE-ENGIN 434.

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.

With lab. Introduction to various measurements used in civil engineering. Topics include basic surveying principles involving linear and angular measurement, leveling, traversing, and stadia. Also, smaller scale measurements, such as displacemnt and load. Includes precision instruments such as verniers, calipers, micrometers and load cells. Prerequisite: MATH 131.

Laboratory experiments to demonstrate behavior in tension and bending for simple metal and concrete structures.

With Lab. Properties of soil used in engineering including: soil classification; compaction; swelling and shrinkage; permeability and seepage; consolidation; strength and stiffness; and implications of soil for civil engineering design. Prerequisite: CE-ENGIN 241or M&I-ENG 211. Co-requisite: CE-ENGIN 357.
