-
1.00 Credits
Prerequisites: senior standing in civil engineering. The task of this course is to reflect on the professional and ethical responsibilities of engineers, which can sometimes conflict with technical responsibilities. This course will articulate an ethical framework for engineers by critically reflecting on engineering practice and examining the ethical challenges that confront engineers working within teams and organizations. The course covers issues such as the social responsibility of engineers, attitudes, truth-telling and disclosure, whistle-blowing, professionalism, contemporary issues, and risk-assessment.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: CIV 370. Advanced engineering hydrology, advanced hydraulic structures, hydraulic similitude and modeling, wave action, flow over spillways, optimization of water resources systems, design constraints, introduction to GIS applications to water resources engineering, completion of a major design project.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: CIV 370. Analysis and characteristics of flow in open channels (natural and artificial); channel design considerations including uniform flow (rivers, sewers), flow measuring devices (weirs, flumes), gradually varied flow (backwater and other flow profiles, flood routing), rapidly varied flow (hydraulic jump, spillways), and channel design problems (geometric considerations, scour, channel stabilization, sediment transport); analysis and design of hydraulic structures such as dams, spillways, etc., based on economic, environmental, ethical, political, societal, health, urban issues, and safety considerations.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: CHEM 241, CHML 241, CIV 340, and CIVL 340. Comprehensive study of the complex, interdisciplinary engineering principles involved in hazardous waste handling, collection, transportation, treatment, and disposal. Also covered are waste minimization, site re-mediation, and regulations important for engineering applications. Design constraints, engineering judgment, and ethical responsibility are covered. Contemporary hazardous waste issues and urban issues are also addressed.
