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.

Introduces the fundamental principles of particulate mechanics with an emphasis on soil strength, consolidation behavior, and fluid flow. Concepts of theoretical soil mechanics and soil physics. Prerequisites: CE 2310.

Team-based project course focusing on a design in a sub-discipline of civil and environmental engineering. Student participants will develop professional practice skills, such as project scoping, scheduling, cost-estimation, and appropriate technical communication, and visual representation of designs. Projects will continue in CE4992. Requisites: 4th-Year Standing in Civil Engineering

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 course provides students with fundamental knowledge of traffic operations including traffic data collection and analysis, safety and crash studies, traffic flow theory, highway capacity analysis, signalized intersection design and analysis, simulation modeling, and sustainable transportation system.

Detailed study of special topics in civil engineering. Master's-level graduate students. Prerequisites: to be listed for each section as needed

An introduction to ground-water hydrology and contaminant transport. Topics include Darcy's Law, fluid potential, hydraulic conductivity, the unsaturated zone, the 3-D equation of ground-water flow, well hydraulics and pump tests, including the principle of superposition, the advection-dispersion-reaction equation, pollutant fate and transport processes, and numerical simulation of ground-water. Prerequisites: CE 2210, CE 3200 or equivalent.

Introduces the legal requirements, framework, and principles of urban and statewide planning. Focuses on describing and applying the methodology of the forecasting system of the transportation planning process, including inventory, forecasts of population and economic activity, network analysis, and travel demand analysis.

The course emphasizes the formulation of environmental management issues as optimization problems. Simulation models will be presented and then combined with optimization algorithms. Environmental systems to be addressed may include stream quality, air quality, water supply, groundwater remediation, and reservoir operations. Optimization techniques presented include linear programming, dynamic programming, and genetic algorithms.

This course provides the essential aspects of the "Project lifecycle" process from the initial conception phase through the completion phase of a project. Specifically, by focusing on the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) projects, students will be introduced to important concepts related to planning and financing a project, budgeting and scheduling, and managing and controlling a technical engineering project.
