4.00 Credits
Groundwater movement and engineering applications. Topics include construction dewatering, groundwater remediation, flow-net analysis, flow analysis to wells and trenches, design of groundwater collection systems, pump selection, and groundwater's interaction with engineered structures. Application of groundwater software. (0608-360, 0608-420) Class 4, Credit 4
-
4.00 Credits
Presents the concept of the hydrologic cycle and the evaluation of its components. Course concentration on the analysis of stream and surface water hydrology, management of stormwater runoff, practical engineering procedures, and hydrologic software. (0608-420) Class 4, Credit 4
-
2.00 Credits
Analysis and design of engineered systems in lakes and streams. Topics may include drainage channels, erosion protection, bridge piers and scour, dam spillways and ancillary structures, docks, breakwaters, harbor structures, and roadway systems. Many of these hydraulic systems will be evaluated using USCOE and USDOT design manuals. Approximately one half of the course work involves the application of various software in analysis and design. (0608-420, 0608-432) Class 3, Recitation 2, Credit 4
-
4.00 Credits
An introduction to loads, and the analysis of statically determinate and indeterminate structures by classical and modern techniques. The types of structures covered include beams, trusses, and frames that are loaded in the plane of the structure. Topics include introduction to cables and arches, infl uence lines and the effect of moving loads, determination of the degree of indeterminacy, approximate methods (including the Portal Method), moment distribution, and an introduction to matrix methods. Some computer work using a popular structural analysis software is involved. (0608-404) Class 4, Credit 4
-
4.00 Credits
Design of members and frames of reinforced concrete. Topics include principles of structural design; loads; properties of concrete and reinforcement; design of slabs, beams, columns and footings. Emphasis is on the use of the ACI code, and a comprehensive group design project is assigned. Some computer work is involved. (0608-303, 305, 404, 490) Class 4, Credit 4
-
4.00 Credits
Design of members and frames of structural steel and their connections. Topics include principles of structural design, loads, types of steels, tension members, columns, noncomposite and composite beams, beam-columns, column base plates, and simple bolted and welded connections. The use of the AISC LRFD specifi cation is emphasized and a comprehensive group design project is assigned. Some computer work is involved. (0608-303, 305, 404, 490) Class 4, Credit 4
-
0.00 Credits
One quarter of appropriate work experience in industry. (0606-099) Credit 0
-
2.00 Credits
An introduction to the fundamentals of labor laws as well as the understanding that good workplace relations depend upon interpersonal skills on a oneon- one basis. Topical legislative and regulatory subjects include the Fair Labor Standards Act, National Labor Relations Act, Davis-Bacon Act, Americans with Disabilities Act, Civil Rights Act and other requirements of the workplace. In addition, time is devoted to an understanding of confl ict resolution, sexual harassment, age-in-hiring, family leave, and other managerial requirements and considerations that make the workplace effective and productive. Course content applies to conduct in engineering offi ces, construction fi rms, and public works agencies and authorities. Several speakers from open shop and union backgrounds share their views and experiences with the class. The assumption is that graduates of the program will assume managerial positions. Class 2, Credit 2
-
4.00 Credits
An introduction to direct cost estimating for construction projects. The estimating techniques covered include quantity take-off, labor productivity, and pricing (labor, material, and equipment). Drawings, sketches, and specifi - cations are used as a basis for developing quantities involving site work, concrete, masonry, steel, and carpentry. Students also gain experience using Timberline Inc's. Precision Estimating, an application software package used as a tool in the development cost estimates. (0608-422) Class 4, Credit 4
-
2.00 Credits
Principles of water treatment plant design. The course emphasizes the components of common municipal treatment works, although some industrial treatment processes are also covered. (0608-420, 0608-438) Class 2, Credit 2
