An introduction to the analysis and design of offshore structures with a strong emphasis on structures for renewable energy applications, especially offshore wind energy. Environmental condition modeling, loads analysis and design standards are covered as well.

The primary objective of this course is to give students an exposure to the computer modeling techniques used in geotechnical engineering. Topics include consolidation, seepage, slope stability and stress distribution. We will outline theories behind each analysis. The students will write simple computer programs for idealized conditions, and will be taught the usage of typical computer packages provided in the course for solving more complicated engineering problems. Selection of soil parameters for civil engineering design will also be discussed.

Geotechnical engineering practice related to site characterization. Topics include: site investigation techniques; drilling; geoenvironmental issues; in situ testing; site instrumentation; soil and groundwater sampling; laboratory testing; and evaluation and interpretation of field and laboratory data for selection of soil properties for design. Written engineering reports. Prerequisite: CE-ENGIN 320.

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.

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. Students enrolled in CE-ENGIN 516 will work in design teams on transportation design projects with an emphasis on creative design and problem solving through transportation systems management techniques. Prerequisite: CE-ENGIN 310.

This course provides a comprehensive insight into the analysis and design of flexible and rigid pavements, with a keen emphasis on sustainable practices. Students will explore significant design factors, engage in various analytical methods, and determine essential design input parameters. The course introduces the empiricalmechanistic pavement design approach and promotes design in adherence to the AASHTO and MEPDG guidelines. A strong focus is placed on integrating the pillars of sustainability (economic, environmental, and social) into pavement design.

Relationship of public transportation to technological innovation; financing and regulation; supply, demand, and price considerations; performance evaluation; routing and scheduling; application of microcomputers; and project planning and design. Prerequisites: CE-ENGIN 310.

This course provides an introduction to computational techniques that are applicable (but not exclusive) to environmental problems. The students are expected to attain hands-on experience with numerical and statistical programming tools and learn how to perform a series of analysis and visualization tasks. Moreover, cloud-based and massively parallel technologies will be introduced as well as fundamental computational concepts and abstractions.
