A commonly cited definition of sustainable development, from the landmark United Nations ?Our Common Future? Brundtland Report in 1987, is ?development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.? To design engineered systems that uphold the principle of sustainability, the entire life cycle of an engineered system must be considered. Through this course, students will learn to critically assess sustainability in the context of civil infrastructure and technology systems.

Various phases of construction including earthwork construction, building construction, construction contracts; estimating and bidding; design objectives and criteria; planning and scheduling; specifications and construction drawings, construction safety, construction failures. Prerequisite: CE-ENGIN 320 and 331

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.

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. Prerequisite: CE-ENGIN 310

Analysis and design of reinforced concrete structures members using current design specifications. Flexural and shear design of beams; development length and bar cutoffs; design of columns using interaction diagrams; calculation of beam deflections. This course, taken with CE-Engin 488, satisfies the Integrative Experience requirement for BS-CE majors.

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.
