Engineering Design Project

Team design of comprehensive civil engineering projects. Includes scheduling, economic factors, feasibility studies, consideration of alternative solutions, detailed analysis and design, and oral and written reports. Engineering ethics and professionalism are discussed. Satisfies the Integrative Experience requirement for BS-CE majors. Pre-requisites: CE-ENGIN 310, 320, 370, and 433 or 434.

Intro to Envir&Water Res Engin

With Lab. Introduction to environmental engineering with a focus on physical, chemical, and biological principles. Topics include environmental standards and legislation, material balances, reaction kinetics, environmental chemistry and microbiology, biogeochemical cycles, water quality, water resources, air quality, and solid and hazardous wastes.

Prerequisite: MATH 331 and CHEM 112
Corequisite: CE-ENGIN 357

Soil Mechanics

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.

Transportation

Transportation operations, planning, and design; emphasis on the highway mode. Topics include: vehicle, operator, and roadway characteristics; traffic control; capacity; geometric design objectives and plan formulation; demand forecasting; and economic, social, and environmental evaluation.

Co-requisite: CE-ENGIN 260

Statics

To give students a fundamental understanding of basic principles in engineering mechanics. Topics include force systems, the principle equilibrium of forces in two and three dimensional space, free-body diagram, centroid and moment of inertia of a solid body, etc. The fundamental principles are applied to solve problems of civil engineering systems, such as beam, truss and frame. Prerequisite: MATH 132. Corequisites: Physics 151 & 153.
