-
1.00 Credits
The engineering design process is demonstrated through use of practical problem-solving methods for public infrastructure and built environment proj- ects. Course subjects include civil engineering career paths, ethical canons of the engineering profession, and requirements for professional licensure. Course assignments, conducted within a collaborative learning environment, focus on creative engineering solutions through technical analysis, teamwork, communica- tion skills, and professionalism. As a foundation for sustained success in civil engineering, additional course topics include: lifelong learning, time management, community and professional service, and career development. Laboratory: two hours.
-
3.00 Credits
Scalar and vector solutions of problems in statics; resultants, reactions, and equilibrium of forces; analysis of simple trusses; friction; centroids and centers of gravity; and moments of inertia.
-
