Water and Wastewater Systems

Introduction to the design of water and wastewater systems. Topics include water supply, design of transmission and distribution systems, drinking water treatment, wastewater collection and design of sanitary sewers, and wastewater treatment systems. Prerequisite: CE-ENGIN 357 and CE-ENGIN 370.

Water Resources Engin&Sustain

Methods for sustaining natural hydrologic conditions and controlling flooding in land development. Characteristics of precipitation and watersheds. Peak discharge, hydrograph and flood routing prediction. Design of drainage structures, detention ponds, and innovative water management techniques. Prerequisites: CE-ENGIN 270, CE-ENGIN 357

Unified Structural Design

This course introduces students to the design of structural systems such as arches, cable supported structures, tall buildings and repetitively-framed buildings through readings, historical study, analysis and design exercises. At the end of the course students will be able to develop conceptual designs for structural systems that solve a wide variety of structural engineering problems and do so based on the historical context of great works of structural engineering. Satisfies the Integrative Experience requirement for CE-ENGIN students.

Design of Steel Structures

Introduction to the principles and procedures of structural steel design and behavior. Using current design methodology and specifications, various types of steel structural members and connections are designed. Included are design of beams, compression members; beam-columns, tension members, bolted connections, and welded connections. This course, taken with CE-Engin 488, satisfies the Integrative Experience requirement for BS-CE majors.

Foundation Engineering

To gain proficiency in the geotechnical design of shallow and deep foundations, using bearing capacity and settlement and structural and performance design criteria, respectively; to learn site characterization procedures including sampling and in situ testing to determine design parameters. Prerequisite: CE-ENGIN 320.

Intelligent Transport Systems

A critical review and analysis of intelligent transportation systems (ITS) in the management and operation of surface transportation facilities; selected ITS technologies reviewed include wireless and wire communication systems, sensors, information processing techniques, automated location systems, and innovative computational methods; emphasis is placed on several ITS user services including traffic control, en-route and pre-trip information, electronic payment, and fleet management as they pertain to surface transportation facilities in large metropolitan areas as well as small urban and ru

Traffic Engineering

Fundamental principles of traffic flow and intersection traffic operations including traffic data collection methods, traffic control devices, traffic signal design, and analysis techniques. Emphasizes quantitative and computerized techniques for designing and optimizing intersection signalization. Several traffic engineering software packages used. Prerequisites: CE-ENGIN 310
