-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: MAT* K137. This course focuses on the properties and behavior of materials used in civil engineering with special emphasis on steel, aggregates, and concretes; both hydraulic cements and petroleum asphalts are studied. Certain ASTM and ASSHTO tests will be used as the basis for the laboratory experiments. Site visits are included.
-
3.00 Credits
Students will learn the basic principles of Geographic Information Systems and explore and evaluate the various data models and structures used in the input management, analysis and output of geographic data. Students will develop hands-on experience through use of a microcomputer based vector system (ArcView GIS), and examine how the nature and character of spatial data can be used in studies of natural and socio-economic environments. This course is equivalent to ENV* K146 or GIS* K146.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: MAT* K137. Co-requisite: CIV* K151. This course introduces the student to the proper use and care of surveying equipment used in making linear and angular measurements, including tapes, transits, theodolites, levels and total stations. This leads to the development of the basic principles of traversing as it relates to boundary surveying.
-
1.50 Credits
Prerequisite: MAT* K137. Co-requisite: CIV* K150. This laboratory will familiarize the student with the proper use and care of the common instruments used by the surveying profession. The use of the equipment is then applied to a boundary traverse.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: MAT* K186. Co-requisite: CIV* K201. This course covers the physical properties of soils, and soil behavior when loaded, shears strength, and consolidation. Identification of soil types, movement of water through soils, and Darcy's Law are taught. Also, design of subsurface sewage disposal systems using the Connecticut Public Health Code is presented.
-
1.00 Credits
Prerequisites: MAT* K186. Co-requisite: CIV* K200. This course explores the physical testing of soil, which includes determination of density, mechanical grain size analysis, hydrometer grain size analysis, liquid and plastic limits, moisture-density relationship, coefficient of permeability (constant and falling head), direct shear, and consolidation. Design of a septic system for a residential dwelling is taught.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: MAT* K186. This course will familiarize the student with the basic principles of hydraulics as related to the field of civil engineering. The understanding of basic fluid properties and water movement is given. Detail work in hydrostatics, Bernoulli's equation, pressure pipe systems, and uniform open channel flow is given. This course is equivalent to MEC* K270.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: CIV* K203. Co-requisite: CIV* K211. This course focuses on the methodology used in determining storm water runoff for small urban areas are studied. The theory and logic of both the Rationale Method and the Soil Conservation Service TR-55 are studied in detail. The quantity computations are covered as well as the understanding of gutter analysis. As part of the lab the student will design a storm drain system including a cost estimate for the project.
-
1.00 Credits
Prerequisite: CIV* K203. Co-requisite: CIV* K210. In this lab, the methodology used in determining storm water runoff for small urban areas is given. This lab is used as a practical exercise to develop the methods of CIV* K210 lecture to actual design of a storm water system, including a cost estimate.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: MEC* K114. Co-requisite: CIV* K223. The following topics are covered in this course: principles in the design and detailing of steel beams, columns, tension and compression members and connections; fabrication drawings; concepts in design, detailing, and inspection of reinforced concrete structures.
