3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: ENCE200 and permission of department. Credit will be granted for only one of the following: ENCE201 or ENCE203. Matrix algebra and numerical computing. Includes computing accuracy, solutions of systems of linear equations, root-finding, function approximation, and numerical integration. Additional computing material including data types and structures, object-based programming, event-based programming, and client-server computing. Numerical and computing techniques are taught in the context of solving engineering problems.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: CHEM135 and permission of department. Examination of fundamental and applied aspects of chemistry, biology, and geochemistry. Fundamental principles will be coupled with analytical and computational skills essential for addressing crucial processes on human impact on the environment and urban infrastructure. Applications to the development of new materials and technologies will be covered in case studies. Students should come out with an appreciation of how understanding the fundamental concepts could facilitate the development of technologies to mitigate human impact on the environment.
-
3.00 Credits
Two hours of lecture and two hours of laboratory per week. Prerequisite: ENES220 and permission of department. Behavior, physical, mechanical and chemical properties, design and performance of civil engineering materials, including aggregates, cement, concrete, asphalt binders and mixtures, plastics and geosynthetics, timber, metals and alloys. Modified and advanced highway materials (polymer and rubber modified mixtures, high performance concrete, composites, smart materials). Laboratory testing with hands-on experience on aggregates, Portland cement concrete, asphalt mixtures, timber and metals as per SUPERAVE, ACI design methods, and ASTM standards and specifications.

3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: ENCE200, ENCE201 and permission of department. The purpose is to have students develop skills in using GIS technology to solve a range of problems in Civil and Environmental Engineering. It begins with a rigorous unit on the basics of database organization and use. Then it presents GIS concepts emphasizing the linkage between a standard relational database and the spatially-referenced database underlying the GIS. Both raster and vector data models are presented and used in a variety of natural applications to Civil and Environmental Engineering. Students are also exposed to scripting which aids in the development of more elaborate analyses and reinforces object-oriented programming concepts learned in ENCE 200 and ENCE 201.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: ENCE201, MATH246, and permission of department. Statistics is the science of data. Civil Engineers must often make decisions based on incomplete, variable or uncertain information. In addition, modern methods of design and analysis need to account for variability in natural, engineered and human systems. After successful completion of this class, a student should have facility and familiarity with established basic techniques for managing data, modeling variability and uncertainty, communicating about data and decisions, and supporting or defending a decision or judgment based on uncertain or incomplete data.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: ENES220, (PHYS260 and PHYS261 {Formerly: PHYS262}) and permission of department. Credit will be granted for only one of the following: ENCE305 or ENCE330. Formerly ENCE330. The theoretical bases for fluid statics and dynamics, including the conservation of mass, energy and momentum. Modeling of hydraulic systems are introduced. Emphasis on pipe flow and open-channel hydraulics, with real-world applications.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: ENCE215, PHYS260 (Formerly: PHYS262) and permission of department. Introduction to the physical, chemical and biological systems relating to the quality of water, land and air environments. Fundamental principles will be emphasized, current environmental pollution problems will be examined and methods of pollution abatement discussed.
-
3.00 Credits
Five hours of lecture per week. Prerequisite: permission of department. A course designed to expose students to the techniques of engineering project management and to develop analytical skills necessary on the management side of engineering projects. Topics include economic analysis, project screening and selection, organizational and project structure, scheduling, budgeting, resource management, life cycle costing, and project control.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: ENES220 and permission of department. Introductory study of soils in civil engineering. Soil origin, phase relationships and classification schemes. Soil hydraulics: capillary, effective stress, permeability and seepage considerations. Basic stress distribution theories and soil consolidation-settlement analysis. Integration of shear strength evaluation with slope stability analysis. If time permits, topics such as applications in geoenvironmental engineering will be covered.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: ENES220, MATH246 and permission of department. The basic tools of structural analysis and design. Design loads. Equilibrium of external and internal forces. Shear and moment diagrams in beams and frames. Truss analysis. Influence line diagrams. The slope-deflection method and method of consistent deformation. Matrix stiffness methods for beams, frames and trusses.
