4.00 Credits
Physical and engineering properties of soils. Topics include basic property determination, sampling techniques, field identification of soils, classification, flow nets, permeability, capillarity, strength, compaction, consolidation, pressure distribution, and settlement. Special emphasis is placed on understanding shear strength, effective stress, and consolidation. Intensive use of the laboratory is required. Prerequisite: CE 222A. Corequisite: CE 338A. Three lectures and one laboratory period per week.
-
0.00 Credits
The ethical and professional environment in which civil engineering students will be practicing after graduation. Emphasis will be placed on codes of ethics and their development over time along with liability. Professional practice case studies will be utilized to illustrate situations in which engineers have found themselves. Open to civil engineering seniors only. One hour a week.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to air, water and land environments showing the relationship of humans to these environmental systems with emphasis on the biological, chemical and physical problems created by everyday activities. Application of engineering principles to the control of air, water and land environment problems emphasized along with field trips to selected sites as an integral part of the course. No credit allowed for civil engineering majors. Three lecture hours per week.
-
3.00 Credits
Traffic engineering analysis techniques. Course will include driver and vehicle characteristics, traffic control devices and techniques to improve roadway and highway operations and safety. Highway Capacity Manual use for analysis and design assignments. Prerequisite: CE 312A or permission of the instructor. Three hours a week.
-
3.00 Credits
Basic geometric principles in the design of highways and streets. The course covers horizontal and vertical alignment, cross-sections and intersections. Factors affecting route selection will be discussed. Highway design standards, sight distance, design speed, super elevation, earthwork and grading will be applied through final class projects. Prerequisite: CE 312A or permission of the instructor. Three hours per week.
-
3.00 Credits
This is an introductory course in the design and analysis of steel structures based upon specifications promulgated by the American Institute of Steel Construction. Emphasized in the design process are projects which involve structural behavior and the application of analytical techniques to the solution of indeterminate structures. Structural analysis topics include a continuation of energy principles, moment distribution, the use of computer programs, and plastic analysis. Prerequisite: CE 345A. Three hours a week.
-
4.00 Credits
This course is structured to emphasize the design method. Design projects are taken from the areas of water and wastewater treatment, solid waste disposal, air pollution control, hydraulics and applied hydrology. Assignments are intended to bring together much of the material covered in previous courses. Oral and written reports, design specifications and preliminary drawings are required for all assignments. Prerequisites: CE 349A, CE 338A. Two three-hour design periods a week.
-
3.00 Credits
This is an introductory course in the design and analysis of concrete structures based on the specifications promulgated by the American Concrete Institute. Emphasized in the design process are projects which involve structural behavior and the continued application of analytical techniques. Prerequisite: CE 345A. Three hours a week.
-
4.00 Credits
Design methods are used in the selection of foundation systems and earth retaining structures. Topics include subsurface investigations; properties and structural behavior of soil; shallow foundations; deep foundations; retaining walls. Design project required. Prerequisite: CE 352A. Four hours a week.
-
3.00 Credits
Studies of the techniques used in professional survey practice. Topics include: boundary surveys, deeds and land titles, easements, photogrammetry and construction layout. Investigations into stateof- the-art survey technology in electronic distance measuring, total stations, digitized mapping, satellite sensing, and CAD/CAM techniques used in surveying. Laboratory sessions include stereoscopic plotting, field work and field trips to practicing firms. Prerequisite: CE 111A. Two lectures and one laboratory period per week.
