3.00 Credits
Credits: 3 Prerequisites: junior/senior standing in environmental/civil engineering Corequisites: None Type: LEC Ethical issues in civil engineering practice, the professional licensure process, the project life cycle, engineering economics fundamentals, construction contracts and delivery methods, cost estimating fundamentals, project scheduling fundamentals, project control fundamentals.
-
3.00 Credits
Credits: 3 Prerequisites: CIE 324 Corequisites: None Type: LEC Builds upon the knowledge gained in the previous courses (Structures I and II). In this course, advanced structural analysis techniques are taught with direct application to bridges and tall buildings. Topics include fundamentals of the flexibility and stiffness methods; bridge and tall buildings structural systems and design considerations; dynamics of single and multi degree-of-freedom systems; earthquake-response spectra; plastic analysis of beams, frames, and plates; stability of structures. Requires a design project that entails either a bridge structural system or a tall building. The project involves developing the structural system, analysis, design, and a final presentation.
-
3.00 Credits
Credits: 3 Prerequisites: MAE 177, senior standing Corequisites: None Type: LEC/REC Basic principles of interactive computer graphics, computer-aided drafting, 3-D modeling, and visualization in modern CAD systems. The use of modern CAD software as a design tool in civil engineering applications. Overview of trends and futures in computer-aided design. Lecture and hands-on laboratory.
-
3.00 Credits
Credits: 3 Prerequisites: senior standing Corequisites: None Type: LEC Comprehensively introduces the finite element method as applied primarily to structural analysis. Presents the foundations of finite elements by addressing the theory of elasticity, calculus of variations, and variational principles of solid mechanics. Subsequently, applies the finite element methodology to trusses, beams, membrane elements, plates, torsion, and axisymmetry. Introduces students to computer programming aspects of the finite element method. Additional topics (time permitting) are dynamics, stability, fluid flow, heat transfer, Galerkin and Ritz methods.

3.00 Credits
Credits: 3 Prerequisites: CIE 324 Corequisites: None Type: LEC Emphasizes a theoretical understanding of fundamental concepts in analysis and design of steel structures. Focuses on building structures; topics addressed in the class include materials, probabilistic underpinnings of structural steel design, tension members, compression members, beams and beam-columns, welded and bolted connections and analysis and design of steel structures for gravity, wind, and seismic loads.
-
3.00 Credits
Credits: 3 Prerequisites: CIE 324 Corequisites: None Type: LEC The design of reinforced concrete members for flexure, shear and combined flexure, and axial load; anchorage and development of reinforcement; design of connections for monolithic construction; -D reinforced concrete elements in shear and bending. Considers the calculation of long- and short-term deformations, as well as the problem of shrinkage; introduces the design of prestressed concrete members.
-
3.00 Credits
Credits: 3 Prerequisites: CIE 324 Corequisites: None Type: LEC Introduces the properties of wood and its grading process. Presents design principles for members under axial tension, column members, beams under flexure, mechanical connections, and shear walls under lateral loads.
