Fundamentals of structural mechanics: equilibrium compatibility, determinacy, stability; mathematical models of structural elements: stress resultants in bars, beams, and framed structures; calculation of deflections; general analysis of structures: concepts of stiffness and flexibility, force and displacement methods of analysis. Prerequisite: CE 2310.

Focuses on society's interaction with water, air, and soil systems. Management of these major environmental components is examined, considering health and ecological needs and technical limitations. This course may stand alone as introduction to the current environmental challenges that we face, or as the foundation for further study in the field of environmental engineering. Prerequisites: CHEM 1410 or CHEM 1610

Emphasizes the management of stormwater quantity and quality, especially in urban areas. Course includes impacts of stormwater on infrastructure and ecosystems, hydrologic and contaminant transport principles, stormwater regulation, structural and non-structural stormwater management approaches, and modeling tools for stormwater analysis and management. Prerequisite: CE 3220

This purpose of this course is to introduce and familiarize students with engineering economics. Students will apply the concepts of the time value of money to infrastructure management. Students will be able to compare cash flows using net present value, future value, and cost-benefit analysis. Students will use cost indices to complete cost estimations. Students will be able to make appropriate adjustments for depreciation and inflation.

Through this course students will develop critical engineering skills for sustainable land development, including project procurement, road design, utility/stormwater design, site grading design, and construction. The course provides an experience similar to working in a professional site/civil engineering design firm. Project work will require the use of technology design tools (CAD), leadership, and problem solving. Prerequisite: CE 2010

A hands-on overview in systems thinking as it relates to infrastructure and sustainability analysis. Students will learn quantitative tools to analyze complex socio-technical systems with a focus on water, energy, transportation, buildings, and food. Students will undertake an open-ended, team-based life cycle assessment project on a topic of their choice. Prerequisites: CHEM 1410 and CE 2100 or Energy/Mass Balances.

Introduction to computational tools and approaches common in water resource engineering. Topics include: geographic information systems (GIS) for water resources; software tools applied for hydrologic and hydraulic data analysis and visualization; and use of industry-standard hydrology and hydraulic models water resource system simulation and design. Pre/Coreq: Students must have completed or currently enrolled in CE 3220.

Introduction of concepts, approaches, procedures, and codes for the design of civil structural systems with emphasis on the characterization of structural loads, structural systems and system behavior on structural systems constructed of steel and reinforced concrete. Topics to include engineering properties of materials, design and behavior of compression members, flexural members, and tension members. Prerequisite: CE3300 or equivalent.

Computer aided design applications of the fundamentals of transportation infrastructure design using real world scenarios. Application topics include: highway geometric design for highway facilities; intersection design including at-grade, roundabouts, and grade separated interchanges, and the transportation improvements associated with a new development. Co-requisite: CE 3400. Prerequisite: CE 2010, CE 2305, CE 3700

Applies basic engineering principles, analytical procedures and design methodology to special problems of current interest in civil engineering. Topics for each semester are announced at the time of course enrollment.
