The major biological phenomena and processes used in environmental engineering. Fundamentals of microbiology and biochemistry as applied to wastewater treatment, bioremediation drinking water treatment, and biological air pollution control.

This course is for students interested in becoming a professional Unoccupied Aerial Systems (UAS) Pilot and has an appreciation of the risk involved with flying drones in various types of airspace. It is one of four courses related to a UAS Piloting Graduate Certificate Program. This course covers topic areas such as: (1) The basic features of a Safety Management System for UAS Pilots and their organization; (2) Human factors for UAS Pilots; and (3) elements of Risk Management for UAS Pilots.

Unified treatment of the analysis of solids. Consideration of continuity, mechanical energy, stress and strain. Application to elasticity, thermoelasticity, and plasticity. Same as M&I-ENGIN 630.

Geotechnical analysis and design related to shallow and deep foundations. Topics include: site investigations, bearing capacity theory, analysis and design of shallow spread footings, isolated pads and mat foundations; total stress and effective stress design of drilled shaft and driven pile foundations. Emphasis on the presentation of designs in a formal geotechnical report. Pre Req: CE-ENGIN 620

Fundamentals of soil behavior, soil mineralogy and structure, soil stresses, stress-strain-strength behavior of cohesionless and cohesive soils, consolidation behavior of saturated soils, and determination of consolidation and strength parameters in practice. Prerequisite: CE-ENGIN 320.

Traffic control at intersections with an emphasis on intersection signalization; warrants that justify the installation of signals; signal sequence, timing, and phasing; pre-timed and actuated signals; traffic detection and signal controllers; computer simulation and modeling; algorithms and tools for evaluating the effectiveness of signals.

Design of water supply and wastewater collection systems. Topics include water transmission mains, water distribution systems, pumping, storm sewers and sanitary sewer systems. Design projects, oral and written engineering reports. Ethics and professionalism.

Determination of loads for building structures, including seismic, wind, blast, and thermal. Complementary to material-specific design courses, this course will focus on structural system selection, and system-level design. Interactions between structural systems will also be considered.

Design of various types of reinforced concrete systems including one and two-way slabs, continuous beams, -building frames, and beam-column joints. Moment-curvature analysis of reinforced concrete sections, moment redistribution of continuous systems, and strut-and-tie modeling techniques are discussed. Prerequisite: CE-ENGIN 433.
