2.00 Credits
Principles of wastewater treatment plant design, conceptual and hydraulic design of activated sludge and trickling fi lter plants are studied. Tertiary treatment facilities, such as nitrogen and phosphorous removal are discussed. Process, plant design, and construction elements are stressed. (0608-432,0608- 438) Class 1, Recitation 2, Credit 2
-
4.00 Credits
The environmental and social aspects as well as the engineering and cost considerations of land-use planning are covered. Topics included are zoning concepts, master plans, subdivision regulations and design criteria, fl ood plains, environmentally sensitive areas, wetlands, other planning and control tools, solar access planning, and urban revitalization. Students are involved in an independent project consisting of a concept design for a subdivision or other land-use project. Extensive use is made of fi eld trips and attendance at appropriate meetings or work sessions. (0608-211, 220, 320, 340, 432) Class 4, Credit 4

An introduction to civil engineering aspects of dealing with resource recovery and "waste" management, on source reduction and resource recovery. Topicscovered are the history of the problems, societal reaction and legislation, minimizing, and recovering "wastes." Emphasis is on those aspects in which thecivil engineer plays a role such as municipal solid waste landfi lls and hazardous waste permanent storage facilities, land application of biosolids, composting, and environmental protection projects, including the "brownfi elds" program.Use is made of lectures, reading materials, outside speakers, fi eld trips, and certain projects. A section of the course focuses on international aspects of resource recovery and waste management. (0608-438) Class 4 Credit 4
-
3.00 Credits
A study of physical, mechanical and engineering properties of soils; methods of determination of bearing capacity; stress distribution within soil mass and settlement; spread footing analysis and design; lateral earth pressure and retaining walls analysis and design; pile foundation analysis and design principles and slope stability; (0608-360, 404; 0608-528, Soil Mechanics Laboratory, must be taken concurrently) Class 3, Credit 3
-
1.00 Credits
The soil mechanics laboratory is to be taken concurrently with 0608-527. Exercises include tests in internal friction by direct shear, unconfi ned compression, triaxial compression, and consolidation. Credit 1, Lab 2
-
3.00 Credits
This course exposes students to the fi elds of highway, airport, and rail engineering. The areas of administration, planning, design, construction, maintenance, and operation are covered. After the introductory material is presented, stress is placed on specifi c skills needed in these fi elds, including highway, rail and airport standards; geometry and alignment; drainage; earthwork; safety standards; and structures. Ample fi eld exposure to all elements is part of the formal structured program. Each student is required to perform an independent project consisting of the design of a section of highway. (0608-303, 0608-340) Class 3, Credit 4, Lab 2
-
4.00 Credits
This course works in conjunction with Transpiration Engineering, providing detailed engineering knowledge on asphalt and Portland cement concrete pavement design. Included with the theoretical knowledge will be the development of, and practice in, the necessary design skill. The course includes the design of new pavements, and also addresses the very active programs in pavement recycling, bridge, and pavement rehabilitation, and strengthening. Problems are attacked in a practical manner, utilizing the expertise of national organizations and state highway departments involved in this work. (0608-330) Class 4, Credit 4
-
2.00 Credits
This course includes a fundamental overview of contract law, followed by the application of this material in the contracts for construction. Subsequently, the student is exposed to construction specifi cations. Substantial use is made of actual documents such as those of the New York State Department of Transportation, the Construction Specifi cation Institute and trade standards such as ANSI, ASTM, and others. Students are required to develop and assemble a mock-up set of contract documents. Arbitration, design-build, and partnering are discussed. Class 2, Credit 2
-
1.00 Credits
A treatment of legal and ethical aspects of the profession; review of codes of ethics and current professional problems. Features several guest speakers representing different segments of the civil engineering technology fi eld. Class 1, Credit 1
