-
1.00 Credits
Field and laboratory applications of typical methods for determining engineering properties of cohesive and granular soils. Experimental topics include specific gravity, particle size distribution, clay soil consistency, engineering classification, permeability, compaction, consolidation, in situ soil properties, soil boring and sampling techniques, and shear strength parameter determination using unconfined direct, triaxial, vane shear and penetration apparatus.
-
3.00 Credits
Design of reinforced concrete structures using strength design theory. Design of beams, columns, combined stress members, footings, and retaining walls. Comprehensive analysis and design of a building frame and foundation system are included. Special attention is given to the use of current specifications for design and construction. The use of computer programs to facilitate analysis and design during the comprehensive problem is encouraged.
-
3.00 Credits
Theory and design of steel structures using the load and resistance factor design method. Design of tension and compression members, beams and columns. Computer solutions are utilized for design shears, moments, and axial loads.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to engineering design principles and practices including water use, quality standards for drinking water, water treatment systems, determining the quantity of wastewater, design of sanitary sewers, quality criteria for surface waters, and wastewater treatment systems.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduces the student to the rudiments of theoretical soil mechanics. Topics include engineering uses of soils; laboratory and field determination of soil properties; determination of phase relationships; engineering soil classification; soil-water interaction and seepage flow mechanics; stress effects of loading on soils at depth; and consolidation, compaction, shear strength, and bearing capacity theory
-
3.00 Credits
An introductory course in geotechnical analysis and design. Topics include shallow foundations, spread footings, deep foundations, piles and caissons, lateral earth pressure for cohesive and cohesionless soils, slope stability analysis, subsurface investigations and special topics including such subjects as soil stabilization methods, geotextile applications, liquefaction, etc.
-
3.00 Credits
Application of management skills, methods, and techniques used to effectively perform engineering, design, and construction projects. Course topics include project scheduling, contract documents, multidisciplinary teams, public administration, communication, public policy, ethical responsibility, life long learning skills, and engineering leadership. Emphasis is placed on professional relationships between government agencies, owners, engineers, and contractors to achieve project requirements and produce engineering deliverables.
-
1.00 Credits
Required of all Civil and Environmental Engineering and Construction Engineering seniors. This class provides a review for the NCEES Fundamentals of Engineering Computer Based Exam.
-
1.00 Credits
Accomplishments of laboratory exercises and experiments to illustrate basic concepts of fluid mechanics and to validate empirical formulas used in hydraulic computations. Principal emphasis is on the phenomena associated with closed conduit and open channel flow of water, measurement of velocities and flow rates, and operational characteristics of pumps. A minimum of one experiment will involve the use of the computers to evaluate laboratory data.
-
1.00 Credits
Accomplishment of chemical, physical, and microbiological determinations used in the examination of water and wastewater. Laboratory analysis to evaluate water quality will be performed, such as biochemical oxygen demand, suspended solids, pH, alkalinity, and others. A minimum of one laboratory experiment will involve the use of the computer to evaluate laboratory data.
