4.00 Credits
Applications of the principles of statics and strength of materials to the design and analysis of basic structural elements such as beams, T beams, columns, slabs, and footings. The available time is split evenly between structural steel (allowable stress design using AISC guidelines) and reinforced concrete (strength design using ACI code). Design and analysis of steel connections are covered. (0610-302, 0610-303) Class 4, Credit 4
-
2.00 Credits
Basic strength of materials and statics are reviewed. Advanced topics are covered to include stress and strain, Mohr's circle concept, transversely loaded members, statically indeterminate problems, Euler's equations and column design principles. (0610-302, 303) Class 3, Recitation 2, Credit 4
-
3.00 Credits
A study of principal physical and mechanical properties of liquids, hydrostatic pressure and forces; pressure-measuring devices; buoyancy and fl otation; principles of kinematics and dynamics; Bernoulli Law; concept of momentum. Flow of liquids in closed conduits, and introductory principles of piping systems design; pumps and pump selection; fl ow of water in open channels and introduction to their design. (Physics, 0610-302, 303) Class 3, Credit 3
-
3.00 Credits
An experimental study of principal physical properties of liquids and major laws of fl uid mechanics. Operating various laboratory equipment and devices along with concurrently taking 0608-420, Hydraulics, for principal theoretical studies of physical and mechanical properties of liquids, hydrostatics, fl uid kinematics and dynamics, hydraulic machinery, and their operation. Class 3,Credit 1
-
4.00 Credits
Elements and details of building construction, both residential and commercial, are explored. The course does not focus on design, but rather on specifi c building components, and on how these components work together to create a functional building. Some of the topics include: foundations, wood light frame, heavy timber frame, steel, concrete, masonry, glass, roofi ng, curtain wall systems, and interior fi nishes. The role of building codes in design and construction is introduced. Class 4, Credit 4
-
1.00 Credits
A brief overview of surface and groundwater sources. Hydraulic design of sewers, storm drains, and potable water systems, including piping and pumping systems, storage, and ancillary facilities. (0608-420, 0608-421) Class 1, Recitation 1, Credit 2
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to water and wastewater treatment, interpretation of analyzed physical, chemical and biological water quality parameters associated with the design and operation of treatment processes. Fundamental principles and applications of physical, chemical and biological processes employed in water and waste-water treatment and the analysis of waste assimilative capacity of streams are introduced. (1011-272, 276, 0608-420, 0608-432) Class 3, Credit 4, Lab 2
-
2.00 Credits
A presentation of mechanical and electrical equipment used in both residential and commercial building construction. The course investigates HVAC, plumbing, and electrical systems/equipment with an emphasis on function rather than design. Heat loss, psychometrics, duct sizing, and refrigeration systems are among the topics covered. Class 2, Credit 2
-
2.00 Credits
The fundamentals of equipment characteristics, uses and earthwork productivity are explored. The course investigates excavators, loaders, scrapers, off-highway trucks, bulldozers and other earth- moving machines, as well as cranes. Students gain practice in machine selection and equipment fl eet assembly using productivity, operating costs, and owning costs as criteria. Credit 2
-
4.00 Credits
Discussion of the properties of structural lumber including grades, sizes and design properties. Design of beams, columns, trusses, plywood diaphragms, shear walls, and glued-laminated timber. The provisions of various building codes are investigated, and the specifi cation of the American Forest and Paper Association is followed. A comprehensive group design project is assigned and some computer work using a spreadsheet program is involved. (0608-404) Class 4, Credit 4
