Graduate level course on reading and analyzing current literature in the field of hydrology and water resources.

With lab. Fundamentals of physical and chemical processes used in environmental engineering. Applications include processes used in the treatment of drinking waters, industrial waters and wastewaters, municipal wastewaters, and hazardous waste remediation.

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.

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.

This course is designed to enhance the knowledge base and analytical skills of engineering graduate students whose major interests are in geotechnical engineering and civil infrastructure materials. It can also be a selective for graduate students from geology (geosciences) and soil sciences. Major topics include the fundamentals of clay mineralogy, the mechanical and engineering properties of clay minerals, and a suite of micro/nano characterization techniques for clay minerals and other fine-grained geomaterials.

The theoretical and practical aspects of in situ tests in geotechnical engineering. Tests discussed include: Standard Penetration Test, Field Vane, Piezocone, Dilatometer, Pressuremeter, and Borehole Shear. Emphasis on use of in situ test results for determining engineering properties of soil for design. Corequisite: 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.

The application of economic principles to transportation investment and pricing analyses; emphasis on highway and public transportation in urban settings. Prerequisites: ECON 103, CE-ENGIN 310 or equivalents.
