Introduction to decision making techniques used in Civil and Environmental Engineering. Develop and solve mathematical models for optimizing engineering systems. Use basic economic concepts to make decisions between alternative engineering designs. Incorporate environmental sustainability and social issues into engineering decisions.

This course will introduce the field of probability and statistics, and demonstrate its importance and utility in the solution of problems specifically of interest to civil and environmental engineering. Topics include statistical data reduction, concept of basic probability, sampling and inference, experimental design and data analysis, statistical methods in quality improvement, and statistical design theory. Prerequisite: MATH 132.

Fundamentals of thermodynamics, conservation of mass and energy, control volume analysis. Heat engines, heat pumps, Carnot cycles, entropy, process efficiencies. Heat transfer mechanisms. Applications to civil engineering facilities.
