3.00 Credits
Material science and engineering of Portland cement concrete. Topics include physical and chemical properties of cements; mixture proportioning; mixing; placement; curing techniques; specifications, tests and evaluation of fresh and hardened concrete; durability issues; and considerations in specialized applications.
-
3.00 Credits
Study of material science and engineering aspects of specialty concretes that are used in unique civil engineering applications, including high-strength concrete, high performance concrete, highly flowable concrete, underwater concrete, shotcrete and others. Exposes students to properties and applications of specialty cements and admixtures that are often used in these special applications.
-
3.00 Credits
Provides students with a knowledge of different types of failures in concrete associated with material durability, construction and design (load) related failures. Also provides knowledge to identify, assess and remediate damage in concrete pavements and structures. Introduces the concepts and tools related to structural health monitoring.
-
3.00 Credits
Study of geosynthetics including geotextiles, geogrids, geomembranes, geonets, geosynthetic clay liners, geopipe and geocomposites which are used in many aspects of civil engineering for soil structures, retaining walls, pavement construction and rehabilitation, drainage, filtration and containment facilities. Covers production of geosynthetics, material properties, design aspects and field installation.
-
3.00 Credits
This course equips students with technical skills and knowledge necessary to effectively manage and utilize the digital data of construction projects. Students learn advanced techniques to deal with various types of digital project data, including geometric models (i.e., BIM), geospatial models (i.e., GIS), business data (i.e., cost and productivity), and texts (i.e., inspection reports) to support project collaboration and decision making in construction management. Preq: Graduate standing.
-
3.00 Credits
Fundamental concepts of designing and constructing capital projects: what they are, why they are done, who is involved and how to best design and build them; phases of a capital project; and variations of organizational and contractual structures used for capital projects. Preq: Consent of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
Principles and best practices of project controls for capital construction projects, including conceptual and detail estimating, scheduling and earned value management (EVM); development of project baseline incorporating scope, schedule and budget; use of baseline to monitor and manage cost and schedule performance; and shortcomings of EVM. Preq: CE 8320 and consent of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
Investigates key topics associated with planning and managing capital construction projects, how these topics are integrated into a capital construction project management plan that achieves business and project objectives and how the project team uses the project management plan to successfully complete the construction project. Preq: CE 8320 and consent of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
Mathematical and computer models are used to simulate construction operations. Covers linear models and optimization applications to construction materials, scheduling and equipment allocation; typical computer models used in construction using simple modeling examples.
-
3.00 Credits
Principles of total quality management (TQM) and their applications in the engineering and construction industry; TQM implementation techniques emphasizing the construction environment; concepts of quality assurance (QA) and quality control (QC) in construction.
