2.00 Credits
Development and application of matrix methods as the basis for modern, computer-based structural analysis. Topics covered include matrix algebra, basic concepts of the force and flexibility methods, member and structure stiffness matrices, the gaussian elimination algorithm, and exercises in solving indeterminate trusses, beams and frames. Senior civil engineering students learn to extend classical structural analysis to the advanced analytical techniques used in professional practice. Students are introduced to commercial software currently used by structural engineers. Prerequisite: CE 350.
-
3.00 Credits
Current professional practice in the design of structural systems for buildings. Multiple material types are used in creating structural systems designed to resist dead, live, wind and earthquake loads in accordance with Uniform Building Code criteria. Economical arrangements of components to achieve material compatibility, strength, serviceability and constructability are emphasized. The impacts of different professional disciplines' responsibilities comprising a typical project team are examined. Prerequisites: CE 350 and CE 360.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction of free and forced vibration structures; equations of motion for single and multi degree of freedom structural system, response to harmonic, arbitrary or step excitations, analytical and numerical methods of natural frequency of vibration , linear and nonlinear system, un-damped, damped and resonant behavior of structures. These general concepts on the dynamic behavior of buildings and bridges are related to the structural response under earthquake induced motion. Structural design and analysis against earthquake loading will be introduced. Prerequisites: CE 350, CE 453.
-
2.00 Credits
Engineering management and principles as applied to the collection, transport, re-use and disposal of solid wastes. Emphasis on municipal wastes. Prerequisite: CE 385.
-
3.00 Credits
Analysis and design of bridge structure based on Load Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) in accordance with the 2002 AASHTO and WADOT Bridge Design Specifications. Topics on new load resistant factors and parameters, new live load system and application, flexural analysis and design, modified compression field theory in shear and torsion design, and strut and tie analysis and design for disturbed region, fatigue and fracture problems in steel bridge and substructure design. Focus will be on the reinforced concrete deck and prestressed girder composite bridge structures. Design of steel girder bridge also will be introduced. During the course, students will design and prepare structural drawings of a bridge. Prerequisites: CE 350, CE450.
-
2.00 Credits
Laboratory analysis techniques for water and wastewater evaluation, including solids, dissolved oxygen, coliform counts, BOD and microbial examinations. Prerequisite: CE 385.
-
3.00 Credits
Coordinated through the University's Career Center and the School of Engineering, the Department of Civil Engineering grants approval of credits for work. Students who are currently employed in civil engineering-related jobs are given the opportunity to discover relationships between academic topics and professional practice. Prerequisites: junior standing and approval of civil engineering department chair.
-
3.00 Credits
Selected topics in engineering approved by the School of Engineering. Prerequisite: permission of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
First of a two-semester capstone design sequence. Class integrates the various design/analysis methods presented in previous courses and equips students to be successful, productive design team memebers. Topics include: Local, global and historic perspectives of civil engineering ; effective verbal, written and technical communication, including report and construction document/plan preparation; design project planning, coordination and quality control; engineering ethics; the path to and preparation for professional registration; legal issues; case studies illustrating the integration of various civil engineering disciplines into successful projects; case studies illustrating design/construction failures; and initial conceptual design/team organization for the design project. CE 498 and 499 must be completed in two successive semesters. Prerequisites: CE 350 and at least any three of the following design classes: CE 321, 323, 360, 370, 385. One design class may be taken as a co-requisite.
-
3.00 Credits
Second of a two-semester capstone design sequence. Multidiscipline student teams take the conceptual study done in Senior Design I through design development and contract documents, including computations, detailed drawings, cost estimates, specifications and bidding material. Written, graphic and oral presentations are made. Practicing engineers from the community are involved in reviewing the student's work. CE 498 and 499 must be completed in two successive semesters. Prerequisite: CE 498
