Within the past three decades, more than 2.6 billion people have gained access to an improved water source and 2.1 billion have gained access to an improved sanitation facility. However, improved does not always mean people have safe, reliable, accessible, or equitable water and sanitation services. Waterborne diseases continue to cause an estimated 500,000 deaths each year.

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.

Behavior of structures and structural components exposed to time dependent loadings. Vibrations of systems; descriptions of dynamic systems. Prerequisites: CE-ENGIN 331, MATH 331.

Seismic considerations for the design of civil engineering systems. Topics include geology of earthquakes, strong motion records, ground motion, site amplification, response spectra, seismic hazard, seismic design.

A review of intelligent transportation systems, technologies and user services with an emphasis on the operation of advanced public transportation systems (APTS) and technologies including wire and wireless communication, sensors, automated vehicle location, information processing and other technological applications; user services include traffic signal priority control, en-route and pre-trip traveler information, electronic payment, and management and operations as they pertain to public transit and paratransit services in large metropolitan areas as well as in small urban and rural communit

Technologies are changing the ways that mobility is provided in cities and regions. This graduate course will address theory and empirical evidence related to public transit and multimodal mobility in cities. Topics will include modeling and design of transit networks, modeling and operation of on-demand services (including microtransit, ridesourcing, and vehicle sharing), and city-scale models of traffic in networks with cars and transit.

Characteristics of traffic system components including drivers, vehicles, and roadways. Fundamental principles of traffic flow, operations, and controls. Traffic demand analysis and highway capacity analysis. Traffic engineering studies involving volume, speed, travel time, and delay. Techniques of field data collection and methodology of office analysis. Intersection design and analysis. Signalized intersection control involving signal phases and timing. Emphasizes methodology as well as practice. Prerequisite: CE-ENGIN 310.

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.

Introduction to transportation systems analysis and modeling as applied to the urban transportation planning process, multiple transportation modes, and the larger metropolitan environment. Prerequisite: CE-ENGIN 310.
