3.00 Credits
Engineering projects with local control using levels, theodolites and total stations, including surveying applications of civil engineering work in the "field". Also includes engineering astronomy and computer generated designs; basic road design including centerline staking, horizontal and vertical curves, slope staking and earthwork volume calculations. Use of commercial software for final plan/profile and earthwork involved for the road project data collected in the field. Conceptual and mathematical knowledge of applying GPS data to engineering projects. Some discussion of the principles and equations of projections (Mercator, Lambert, UTM, State Plane, etc.) and their relationship to the databases of coordinates based on (North American Datum) NAD '27, NAD '83 and (High Accuracy Reference Network) HARN. Prerequisite: EGGN234. 2 hours lecture; 8-9 field work days; 3 semester hours.
-
3.00 Credits
Experience in the engineering design process involving analysis, design, and simulation. Students use engineering, mathematics and computers to model, analyze, design and evaluate system performance. Teamwork emphasized. Prerequisites: EGGN382, EGGN388, and two of the following: EGGN384, EGGN385, EGGN389, and EPIC251. Three weeks in summer field session; 3 semester hours.
-
3.00 Credits
The environmental module is intended to introduce students to laboratory and field analytical skills used in the analysis of an environmental engineering problem. Students will receive instruction on the measurement of water quality parameters (chemical, physical, and biological) in the laboratory and field. The student will use these skills to collect field data and analyze a given environmental engineering problem. Prerequisites: EGGN353, EPIC251, MATH323. Three weeks in summer field session; 3 semester hours.
-
3.00 Credits
Supervised, full-time engineering- related employment for a continuous six-month period in which specific educational objectives are achieved. Students must meet with the Engineering Division Faculty Co-op Advisor prior to enrolling to clarify the educational objectives for their individual Co-op program. Prerequisite: Second semester sophomore status and a cumulative grade-point average of at least 2.00. 3 semester hours credit will be granted once toward degree requirements. Credit earned in EGGN340, Cooperative Education, may be used as free elective credit hours or a civil specialty elective if, in the judgment of the Co-op Advisor, the required term paper adequately documents the fact that the work experience entailed high-quality application of engineering principles and practice. Applying the credits as free electives or civil electives requires the student to submit a "Declaration of Intent to Request Approval to Apply Co-op Credit toward Graduation Requirements" form obtained from the Career Center to the Engineering Division Faculty Co-op Advisor.

3.00 Credits
Analysis of determinate and indeterminate structures for both forces and deflections. Influence lines, work and energy methods, moment distribution, matrix operations, computer methods. Prerequisite: EGGN320. 3 hours lecture; 3 semester hours.
-
3.00 Credits
Laboratory experiments integrating electrical circuits, fluid mechanics, stress analysis, and other engineering fundamentals using computer data acquisition and transducers. Fluid mechanics issues like compressible and incompressible fluid flow (mass and volumetric), pressure losses, pump characteristics, pipe networks, turbulent and laminar flow, cavitation, drag, and others are covered. Experimental stress analysis issues like compression and tensile testing, strain gage installation, Young's Modulus, stress vs. strain diagrams, and others are covered. Experimental stress analysis and fluid mechanics are integrated in experiments which merge fluid power of the testing machine with applied stress and displacement of material specimen. Prerequisite: EGGN250. Prerequisite or concurrent enrollment: EGGN351, EGGN320. 4.5 hours lab; 1.5 semester hour.
-

-
3.00 Credits
Topics covered include history of water related environmental law and regulation, major sources and concerns of water pollution, water quality parameters and their measurement, material and energy balances, water chemistry concepts, microbial concepts, aquatic toxicology and risk assessment. Prerequisite: Junior standing or consent of instructor. 3 hours lecture; 3 semester hours.
-
3.00 Credits
Introductory level fundamentals in atmospheric systems, air pollution control, solid waste management, hazardous waste management, waste minimization, pollution prevention, role and responsibilities of public institutions and private organizations in environmental management (relative to air, solid and hazardous waste. Prerequisite: Junior standing or consent of instructor. 3 hours lecture; 3 semester hours.
-
