3.00 Credits
Sustainable environmental management is currently one of the essential elements in product design and facilities management. At the facility level, environmental management means everything from manifesting hazardous waste, to redesigning a product, to installing air pollution control equipment. Key considerations include economics, long-term liability, and public perception, both in the USA and globally. The emphasis in this course is on management, policy, and technological solutions that can promote sustainability with a focus on manufacturing facilities.[W] Prerequisite: Sophomore standing Staff
-
3.00 Credits
This course addresses management of civil engineering projects, including planning and feasibility studies, environmental assessments, resource development, design, construction, and other types of projects in which civil engineers are involved. Topics include definition and scheduling of project tasks and resource management. The course also provides an overview of the concepts and analytical techniques of engineering economics, including present and annual worth analysis, capitalized cost analysis, rate of return analysis, cost/benefit analysis, and sensitivity analysis. The course introduces students to software packages used in project management and economic analysis. Lecture. Prerequisite: ES 225 Offered: Fall semester Staff
-
3.00 Credits
Technical and policy related aspects of transportation systems. Topics include traffic analysis and control, traffic flow theory, geometric design, capacity analysis and level of service, transportation demand analysis, and transportation planning. Computer applications. Design projects include oral presentations and written reports. Lecture/discussion. Prerequisite: Mathematics 264 and junior or senior standing in engineering Offered: Fall semester Staff

Topics include groundwater and surface water supply, flow measurements, flow and pressure losses in pipe systems, probablility concepts in design, open channel design including storm sewers and culverts, pump design, and detention basis design. Written laboratory and design reports are required. Prerequisite: CE 251 Offered: Spring semester in alternate years Staff
-
3.00 Credits
An introductory course in soil mechanics and geotechnical engineering. Studies include the classification, permeability, consolidation, and strength of soils in lecture and laboratory settings. Written reports for laboratory and design results are required. Discussion of traditional design methods in foundation engineering is included. Lecture/laboratory. [W] Prerequisite: ES 230 and CE 251 (corequisite) or permission of instructor Corequisite: CE 251 Offered: Fall semester Staff
-
3.00 Credits
Students work in teams to complete four projects in four areas of civil and environmental engineering. The projects are designed to provide design experience in each area. At the end of each project, each team presents their design results. Students develop skills in project design, project management, engineering report preparation and presentation, leadership, and are given an opportunity to utilize many of the skills learned in previous courses within the CE disciplines. Lecture/laboratory. Prerequisite: Civil Engineering 311, Civil Engineering 321, Civil Engineering 331, Civil Engineering 341, Civil Engineering 361, or permission of instructor. Corequisite: Civil Engineering 351 Offered: Spring semester Staff
-
3.00 Credits
Independent study or research projects selected based on the background and interests of the student. An outline of the proposed work is submitted for approval by the department head and the faculty member who serves as adviser. A final paper presenting the results of the work is required. Hours arranged. Offered: 390/Fall, 391/Spring Staff
-
3.00 Credits
This course considers recent advances and/or subjects of current interest to students and faculty. The special topic(s) for a given semester are announced prior to registration. Offered: 395/Fall, 396/Spring Staff
-
