3.00 Credits
This course is designed for civil engineering students interested in pursuing careers in Structural Engineering. The course will enable students to explain the dynamic equilibrium of a structural system under dynamic loading; formulate equations of motion for single and multi-degree-of-freedom structures subjected to various dynamic loads; compute responses of structural systems to harmonic, pulse and earthquake loads; use spectral analysis and numerical methods to compute the response of structures to dynamic loading; recognize the basis for building code provisions related to dynamic loading; and use and evaluate modern commercial dynamic analysis software.
Prerequisite:
CE 3411 (0211), ENGRG 2332 (0132) and MATH 3041 (0251). Special authorization required for non-majors
-

-
3.00 Credits
Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) examines the environmental impacts of products, processes and policies beyond their direct production. Cradle to grave analysis in this manner provides the full picture needed to understand the true impact. This course provides an overview of Life Cycle Assessment principles and practice in relation to environmental and energy concerns. Regulatory and economic decision support tools and software analysis packages will be included. The course is structured such that students will start an LCA from the beginning of the course and progress on it as topics are covered.

Prerequisite:
ENGRG 3553 (0253), MATH 2043 (0127)
-
3.00 Credits
A study of the physical laws affecting the occurrence, distribution, movement, storage, and contamination of water in watersheds. The physics of surface and subsurface circulation and storage of water and the transport of contaminants in watersheds, soils, aquifers, rivers, the ocean, and the atmosphere. The laws and equations which govern the recharge, flow, storage, and discharge of water in natural environments. The laws and equations governing the occurrence, absorption, propagation and fate of contaminants in natural environments. Hydrologic effects of global climate change. Engineering methods for the sustainable use of water resources. Engineering methods for the containment and treatment of surface and groundwater pollution, and the restoration of aquifers.

3.00 Credits
Stormwater management has become a significant issue in recent years. In the past, the typical thinking was ‘get it out of my town’ which resulted in downstream communities suffering the brunt of poor or inadequate management. In fact, only the rate of runoff was addressed, not the volume, nor the quality of that runoff. In urban areas, the volume of runoff increases significantly due to the additional impervious cover (e.g. pavement and rooftops) and urban stormwater runoff causes water quality degradation due to excess amounts of nutrients, metals, bacteria and sediment. This course will address the impacts of improperly controlled runoff on urban streams and how the rate, volume and quality of urban stormwater runoff can be properly controlled through appropriate Best Management Practice (BMP) implementation.
Prerequisite:
CE 3711 and either CE 4621 or CE 4631
