3.00 Credits
Increases familiarity with the theory and implementation of laboratory, computational, and field procedures common to environmental engineering. Weekly in-class laboratories alternate between hands-on-laboratory, field or computer experiments, and demonstrations of advanced analytical instrumentation or field sampling procedures. Weekly lectures provide the theoretical background that pertains directly to the laboratory for that week. Topics covered are relevant to water wastewater treatment operations, ground and surface-water hydrology, and the fate and transport of pollutants in the environment. (Y) Prerequisites & Notes Prerequisite: CHEM 151/151L, APMA 213, ED 315, or equivalent. Credits: 3
-
3.00 Credits
Topics include Darcy’s Law, fluid potential, hydraulic conductivity, heterogeneity and anisotropy, the unsaturated zone, compressibility, transmissivity and storativity, the 3-D equation of groundwater flow, steadystate and transient regional groundwater flow, and well hydraulics, including discussions involving Theis’ Inverse Method, Jacob’s Method, slug test analyses, and the principle of superposition. Ground-water contamination and remediation techniques are introduced.

3.00 Credits
Introduces the concepts of design, performance, and analysis of rigid and flexible pavements.? Focuses on five specific areas: review of engineering materials used for pavement construction, empirical and mechanistic design methodologies for pavement construction and rehabilitation, influence of traffic loading on pavement performance, life-cycle cost analysis techniques, and pavement management.? Students gain experience with classic pavement analysis techniques as well as state-of-the-art mechanistic modeling.? Course serves as the primary undergraduate pavements course as well as a stepping-stone for advanced study in pavements. (Y) Prerequisites & Notes Prerequisite: CE 323 Credits: 3
-
3.00 Credits
Discusses management of stormwater quantity and quality, especially in urban areas. Emphasis is on the use of basic hydrologic and water quality principles for controlling stormwater runoff quantity and equality. The course covers discussions on current stormwater regulations; hydrologic principles and stormwater management modeling analyses; non-point pollution characteristics and impact on water quality; and the design and management of control practices.
-
3.00 Credits
Emphasizes the formulation of environmental management issues as optimization problems. Simulation models are presented and combined with optimization algorithms. Environmental systems addressed include stream quality, air quality, water supply, waste management, groundwater remediation, and reservoir operations. Optimization techniques presented include linear, integer, and separable programming, dynamic programming, nonlinear programming and genetic algorithms. (Y) Prerequisites & Notes Prerequisites:? 4th yr standing or instructor permission. Credits: 3

3.00 Credits
This course covers geometric and hydraulic properties ofopen channels, conservation laws as applied to open channelflow, principles of critical, uniform and gradually variedflows, design of channels for capacity and erosionresistance, flow profile computations, hydraulic routing,and open channel flow applications. Consideration will begiven to the analysis and characteristics of flow in openchannels (natural and artificial); channel designconsiderations including uniform flow (rivers, sewers),flow measuring devices (weirs, flumes), gradually variedflow (backwater and other flow profiles, flood routing),rapidly varied flow (hydraulic jump, spillways), andchannel design problems (geometric considerations, scour,channel stabilization, sediment transport). The purpose ofthe course is to provide students with a practicalfoundation in the hydraulics of open channel flow, so thatthey may apply their skills to design and analysis ofman-made structures and natural rivers. (IR) Prerequisites & Notes Prerequisites Fluid Mechanics (CEE 315/365) or an equivalent course in fluid flow or hydraulics. Credits: 3

Analyzes the design of unit processes used to control the quality of water and waste water associated with people and the environment. Process considerations include pump systems, mixing, sedimentation, filtration, precipitation, coagulation, disinfection, and biological oxidation.? Presents principles of design practices used in physical, chemical, and biological treatment are presented. (Y)? Prerequisites & Notes Prerequisite: CE 315. Credits: 3
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to the design of metal structures, emphasizing the rational development of design methods for structural members, subsystems and systems. The objective is to develop a sound behavioral basis for interpreting design codes, using mechanics and experimental bases. Topics include the behavior and design of tension, compression, and flexural members in metal, and the behavior and design of bolted and welded connections, using the AISC Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) specification.
-
4.00 Credits
Introduces landform geometry, grading concepts and methods, with emphasis on the interrelationship between technical and design issues. Fundamental site engineering principles of drainage, the grading of walks, roads, curbs, and level areas, together with cut and fill and take-off calculations are covered in traditional and digital media. Students translate between 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional representations to produce grading plans for automated and construction processes. (Y) Prerequisites & Notes Prerequisite: CE 201 or LAR 533. Credits: 4
