0.00 Credits
Students participate in the ASCE / AISC Student Steel Bridge Competition, gaining practical experience in structural design, steel fabrication processes, construction planning, organization, and teamwork. Provides an opportunity to compete against, and network with, students from other colleges and universities from around the country.
Prerequisite:
Prereq: None
-
3.00 Credits
Introduces the design and behavior of large-scale structures and structural materials. Emphasizes the development of structural form and the principles of structural design. Presents design methods for timber, masonry, concrete and steel applied to long-span roof systems, bridges, and high-rise buildings. Includes environmental assessment of structural systems and materials. In laboratory sessions, students solve structural problems by building and testing simple models. Graduate and undergraduate students have separate lab sections.
Prerequisite:
Prereq: Calculus II (GIR); 4.401 or permission of instructor
-
3.00 Credits
Single- and multiple-degree-of-freedom vibration problems, using matrix formulation and normal mode superposition methods. Time and frequency domain solution techniques including convolution and Fourier transforms. Applications to vibration isolation, damping treatment, and dynamic absorbers. Analysis of continuous systems by exact and approximate methods. Applications to buildings, ships, aircraft and offshore structures. Vibration measurement and analysis techniques. Students should possess basic knowledge in structural mechanics and in linear algebra. Students taking graduate version complete additional assignments.
Prerequisite:
Prereq: Permission of instructor
-
3.00 Credits
Mechanics principles for incompressible fluids and their interactions with solid materials. Review of hydrostatics. Conservation of mass, momentum and energy in fluid mechanics. Flow nets, velocity distributions in laminar and turbulent flows, groundwater flows. Momentum and energy principles in hydraulics, with emphasis on open channel flow and hydraulic structures. Analysis of pipe systems, pumps and turbines. Gradually varied flow in open channels, significance of the Froude number, backwater curves. Application of principles through open-ended studio exercises. Engineering Mechanics I is not required for this subject.
Prerequisite:
Prereq: Permission of instructor or Coreq: 18.03
-
3.00 Credits
Introduces mass transport in environmental flows, with emphasis on river and lake systems. Covers derivation and solutions to the differential form of mass conservation equations. Topics include molecular and turbulent diffusion, boundary layers, dissolution, bed-water exchange, air-water exchange, and particle transport.
Prerequisite:
Prereq: 1.060; Coreq: 1.106, 1.070; or permission of instructor
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to the global water and energy cycles and the Earth system, including the atmosphere, oceans, land, and biosphere. Fundamentals of hydrologic science and its applications. Covers bases for the characterization of hydrologic processes such as precipitation, evaporation, transpiration by vegetation, infiltration, and storm runoff. Understanding and modeling of groundwater flow, hydraulics of wells, and subsurface transport of pollutants. Probabilistic analysis and risk estimation for hydrologic variables.
Prerequisite:
Prereq: 1.060; Coreq: 1.061, 1.106
-
3.00 Credits
Introduces the basic relevant principles and concepts in atmospheric physics, climate dynamics, biogeochemistry, and water and energy balance at the land-atmosphere boundary, through an examination of two current problems in the global environment: carbon dioxide and global warming; and tropical deforestation and regional climate. An introduction to global environmental problems for students in basic sciences and engineering.
Prerequisite:
Prereq: 18.03; 5.60
-
4.00 Credits
Covers basic environmental chemistry with a focus on understanding the principles governing the function of both natural systems and systems perturbed or engineered by humans. Emphasizes the key processes that act on chemical species in the atmosphere, natural waters, soils and sediments, allowing for the prediction of chemical concentrations and fates. Topics include acid-base chemistry, metal complexation, mineral dissolution and precipitation, oxidation/reduction reactions, photolysis, phase partitioning including bioaccumulation, and radiochemistry. Concurrent enrollment in 1.083 and 1.107 recommended.
Prerequisite:
Prereq: Chemistry (GIR)
-
3.00 Credits
Considers potentially important risk factors for common cancers in the general environment and the workplace: air-, food- and water-borne chemicals; subclinical infections; and diet and lifestyle choices. Includes an analysis of the history of cancer mortality rates in predominantly European- and African-American cohorts. Examines metakaryotic cancer stem cells as targets for both pathogenic environmental risk factors and drugs that prevent the growth of or kill preneoplastic and/or neoplastic stem cells.
Prerequisite:
Prereq: Biology (GIR), Chemistry (GIR)
-
3.00 Credits
Considers human health issues associated with environmental engineering for air, land, and water. Topics include the fundamental and applied aspects of biological and microbial processes in natural and engineered systems, including microbial metabolisms, water quality, ecological assessment, and wastewater treatment; the interaction between humans and chemicals in the environment including toxicology, exposure pathways, and risk assessment; treatment technologies; and the basis for environmental regulation of chemical exposure. Case studies illustrate concepts and issues. Concurrent enrollment in 1.080 and 1.107 recommended.
Prerequisite:
Prereq: Chemistry (GIR), Biology (GIR), 1.061
