3.00 Credits
This introductory course is designed to expose high school students to a variety of specific disciplines within the civil engineering arena to assist them in making informed decisions about possible college majors. The program is designed for the exemplary high school student interested in applied mathematics and science. All students enrolled in this course will gain experience in problem solving, engineering mechanics, computer simulation, and laboratory activity. The course content changes throughout the 3-week duration and includes topics on civil engineering, environmental engineering, and architectural engineering. The students will be provided with an understanding and some hands-on experience on topics relative to the disciplines of civil, architectural, and environmental engineering. Via an introduction to several case histories, the students will be able to understand the challenges associated with the design and construction and importance of the scientific methods in engineering. The laboratory and field trip experiences will deal with bridge building, material testing, water purification, and building systems.
