-
1.00 - 4.00 Credits
A detailed investigation of a topic of current significance in civil engineering such as: design of small earth dams, man and the environment, drilling and blasting, scheduling construction operations, construction equipment and methods, traffic safety, optimum structural design, environmental impact analysis, systems analysis in civil engineering, motor vehicle noise and its control. May be repeated to a maximum of eight credits, but only four credits can be earned under the same title. A particular topic may be offered at most twice under the CE 399 number. Prereq: Variable; given when topic identified and registration in the College of Engineering.
-
1.00 Credits
A discussion of the ethical and professional aspects of civil engineering practice. Concepts of loss prevention and conflict resolution. Structured small group discussion, oral presentations, and role playing. Lecture, two hours per week. Prereq: Senior classification and engineering standing.
-
3.00 Credits
A study of the methodology used in construction, with an emphasis on the selection and application of resources: labor, materials, equipment, money and time. The importance of cost and quality is stressed. Weekly lab periods are used to acquaint the student with actual construction documents and to provide supervised work sessions in plan reading and basic estimating. Lecture, two hours; laboratory, three hours per week. Prereq: CE 303, CE 381, engineering standing.
-
4.00 Credits
The course is designed to provide the graduating civil engineer with an integration of professional practice issues with planning, design, and construction. Topics to be covered will include: development of teaming, problem solving, and decision-making skills; development of written and oral technical communication skills; procurement of professional services; integration of planning, design, and construction activities; integration of environmental, legal, political, and social issues and concerns into the project process. All activities will be conducted in teams. Lecture, three hours; laboratory three hours per week. Prereq: To be taken during the student's last semester.
-
3.00 Credits
Application of basic fluid mechanics to problems of importance to civil engineering practice. This includes pipe flow (pipe networks), open channel flow, culvert flow, flow through meters, pumps, and turbines. Prereq: CE 341, CS 221 or CS 223 and engineering standing.
-
3.00 Credits
Fundamentals of the design and operation of water and wastewater treatment facilities. Prereq: CE 341, CE 351, and engineering standing or consent of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
The first course in the physics of saturated flow in porous media. Topics include groundwater occurrence, Darcian flow, well hydraulics, flow nets, layered systems flow and pollutant movement. Prereq: ME 330 or CE 341 or consent of instructor, and engineering standing. (Same as BAE 438G.)
-
3.00 Credits
A study of the factors affecting the occurrence, movement and utilization of water including meteorological considerations, evaporation, transpiration, runoff relationships, hydrograph analysis, and ground water management. Prereq: CE 341, engineering standing or consent of instructor.
-
4.00 Credits
A study of the strength, deformation and hydraulic properties of soils and their relationship to settlement, stress distribution, earth pressure, bearing capacity and slope stability. Design of footing foundations and retaining walls. Written and oral presentations of student projects will be required. Lecture, three hours; laboratory, three hours per week. Prereq: EM 302; prereq or concur: GLY 220; and engineering standing or consent of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
Application of principles of solid mechanics to the design of steel, timber, and reinforced concrete members and structures. Emphasis on basic ideas and their application to practical design of relatively simple structures according to the building code. Credit may not be used to satisfy degree requirements if credit is earned in CE 485G, or CE 486G, or CE 487G. Prereq: CE 382 and engineering standing.
