-
4.00 Credits
A review of the civil engineering technology discipline and associated math and sciences in preparation for the Fundamentals of Engineering exam. (Not for credit for CET and Surveying and Mapping majors.)
-
3.00 Credits
Study of the evaluation of alternatives, selection and design of foundations for civil engineering facilities such as buildings, bridges, and other public works. Consideration will be given to behavior of earth materials both during and after construction. Course topics will include subsurface investigation, stress analysis, settlement, bearing capacity, structural design of footings, lateral earth pressures and earth retaining structures, slope stability, and pile foundations.
-
3.00 Credits
Introductory geology, including rock types, geneses, formations, strength, permeability, and weathering. Investigation of the effects of geologic structure, groundwater, rock properties and mineralogy on design and construction of highways, buildings, tunnels and dams. Problems of construction excavation and de-watering, tunneling methods, evaluation of slope stability and determination of geologic substructure through use of maps and subsurface investigations.
-
4.00 Credits
An introduction to the physical process of the hydrologic cycle, the fundamentals of hydrologic analysis, and the elements of design hydrology. Also includes drainage area studies, hydrograph theory, and storm water and culvert design. Analysis and design of storm sewer appurtenances, flood plain analysis, and open channels. Introduction to site development and the methods presently employed to control erosion and sediment in urban areas. Design of detention ponds ,sediment basins and storm sewer systems.
-
4.00 Credits
A study of the methods used to determine thickness and composition of the components of both flexible and rigid highway pavements. Class work will also include evaluation of paving materials, design of pavement drainage systems recognition of pavement distress, and the design of repair measures. Standard techniques and computer software such as that of PCA, ACPA, the Asphalt Institute and AASHTO will be utilized in pavement thickness design.
-
4.00 Credits
A study of the principles and concepts employed in the design of multi-model transportation networks. Topics include: interaction of multi-model systems, terminal design, ports and harbors, airport design, and mass transit. Design projects will look at solutions to network problems facing metropolitan Atlanta.
-
4.00 Credits
This course is designed to be the culmination of the undergraduate civil engineering technology education. Under the guidance of the professor, students will form small design teams, choose a proposed or ongoing project in the metropolitan area of Atlanta and redesign the project. Working as independent teams with guidance from the lead professor the projects will be completed and the results presented for review to a panel of faculty and students.
-
4.00 Credits
Applies principals of fluid mechanics to the design and analysis of hydraulic systems. The course emphasizes open channel flow and addresses topics of interest to the Civil Engineer. Topics include hydraulic grade line calculations, pump design, culvert analysis and design, base flood elevation studies using HEC-RAS, non-uniform flow, gutters and inlets, water distribution, open channel design.
-
1.00 - 4.00 Credits
Special topics offered by the program on a demand basis.
-
2.00 Credits
This course presents an overview of the history of computer games and the theory of gaming. Topics include game genres, content, patterns, playability, suspension of disbelief and immersion, storytelling, and game balance and fairness. Students are required to analyze historic and current games and must also develop a prototype of an original game.
