-
3.00 Credits
Presents the "why," "what" and "how" for sustainable construction projects. Students gain a working understanding of how to minimize the negative impacts of buildings and other large construction projects.
-
3.00 Credits
Students develop their technical and creative ability to plan and design for a sustainable future. Students perform quantitative analyses of the environmental and economic impacts of engineering alternatives. Students work in small groups and learn techniques for the collaborative, multidisciplinary approach required for sustainable solutions.
-
3.00 Credits
Describes activities necessary for the completion of a construction job although not specifically recognized as direct construction activities: general conditions, safety, security, quality assurance, value engineering; organizational support features and typical implementation procedures.
-
3.00 Credits
Methodology of selecting the right equipment of the right size for each task of the construction job on the basis of power-train characteristics, crew size, terrain conditions, and job requirements. Cycle time, cost, specifications, maintenance, replacement policy, monitoring.
-
3.00 Credits
Provides an introduction to water resources infrastructure designs using hydrologic information, such as frequency analysis, peak discharge, hydrographic, and design-storm computer methods. Students learn to apply statistical methods and hydrologic models (e.g., HEC-HMS) to quantify hydrologic information for design studies of a wide variety of problems in water resources engineering. Preq: Graduate standing.
-
3.00 Credits
Extension of the concepts of fluid mechanics to applications in water supply, water resource assessment, water transmission, water distribution networks, pump and pipe selection, pipe networks, and analysis of open channel appurtenances.
-
3.00 Credits
Study of flood hazards and methods of protective design of the built environment; floodplain mapping and delineation; methods for determining base flood elevations. Discusses flood-resistant construction, flood proofing, and governmental regulations. Includes case studies and design projects.
-
3.00 Credits
Evaluation of peak discharges for urban and rural basins, design of highway drainage structures such as inlets and culverts; stormwater and receiving water quality; best management practices, detention and retention ponds, and erosion and sediment control. Students will also learn appropriate technical communication and teamwork skills. Students are expected to have fundamental knowledge of environmental engineering, hydraulics and hydrology prior to enrolling in this course.
-
0.00 Credits
Non-credit laboratory to accompany CE 6470. Coreq: CE 6470.
-
3.00 Credits
This course provides an overview of environmental fluid mechanics and the role of fluid flows in pollutant transport in natural systems. Environmental flows covered include momentum driven flows (e.g. turbulent jets), buoyancy driven flows (e.g. smoke plumes), and advection and diffusion. The course includes several visits to the environmental fluid mechanics lab where students observe these flows at small scale. It is expected that students have a solid understanding of engineering fluid mechanics, including hydrostatics, energy and momentum, conservation of volume, and dimensional analysis, before enrolling in this course.
