3.00 Credits
Credits: 3 Prerequisites: MAE 177 Corequisites: None Type: LEC Introduces students to spatial concepts that are important in the planning, construction, and operation of civil engineering projects and activities. Introduces the expression of these concepts in graphical language, which is central to civil and architectural communication by first developing some basic skills in CAD. Studies concepts and principles of location and layout of points on the surface of the 3-D earth from both a historical and a modern technology perspective. Also covers the problem of converting the curved surface of the earth onto a plane map or computer screen. Reviews the use of plane concepts for local layouts, along with the circumstances under which -D plane concepts can be utilized. Discusses and demonstrates the technological basis for modern measurement and positioning systems, such as DME and GPS. Covers techniques used to identify and lay out land areas in the United States. Introduces GIS.

3.00 Credits
Credits: 3 Prerequisites: EAS 09, MTH 306 Corequisites: None Type: LEC/REC First of a two-course sequence required of all civil engineering students. Basic aspects of structural analysis and design. Introduces structural engineering by an approach that unifies structural behavior, analysis, and design. Emphasizes analysis and design of determinant structures. Topics include analysis of determinate structures, determination of loadings, design criteria, and design of steel members in tension, bending, and compression.

3.00 Credits
Credits: 3 Prerequisites: CIE 323 Corequisites: None Type: LEC/REC Continuation of CIE 33, dealing primarily with analyzing and designing statically indeterminate structures. Topics include deflection calculations using the compatibility and moment distribution methods, an introduction to the stiffness method, and the design of steel beam columns. Introduces students to the use of general purpose structural analysis programs. Major part of the course is devoted to the term design project, which typically involves the modeling, loadings determination, analysis, assessment of safety and preparation of a technical report for an actual structure. Often involves the engineer of record for this structure in the project.
