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

Project management skills are just as crucial to success as engineering skills. Therefore, it is essential to understand how projects are planned, executed, and managed.The purpose of this course is to introduce the principles of project management. The course will equip students with the concepts, tools, and language of project management that can be applied to any project size and type.

Stresses the quantitative description and the physical basis of hydrology. Both deterministic and stochastic methodology are applied to the analysis of the hydrologic cycle, namely, precipitation, evaporation, overland flow and stream flow, infiltration, and groundwater flow. The use of compute simulation models, especially microcomputer based models, is emphasized. Prerequisite: Instructor permission.

An introductory to sustainability metrics and the engineering tools of industrial ecology, most notably life cycle assessment (LCA). Case studies from various engineering disciplines will be explored. Students will undertake an open-ended LCA project related to their thesis research or improving the sustainability of UVA operations. Prerequisite: SEAS 4th-year or Grad standing.

This course will broaden a student's exposure to professional practice issues, including project planning and management, financial and contractual relationships. The major focus of the course will be providing practical civil engineering design experience. Students will participate in one or more multi-disciplinary team design projects requiring integration of technical skills from sub-areas of Civil Engineering. Prerequisite: 4th yr standing as CE major

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

Construction projects only occur when the needs of the market, sponsors, end-users, and society are sustainably met. In this course, students will learn how to: 1) plan successful business cases for construction projects considering technical, societal, financial, legal, environmental, and market limitations, 2) evaluate and select the best alternative, and 3) express it through a business plan while increasing their entrepreneurship competencies.

The surface transportation system is transforming into a cyber-physical system, with the wide-scale use of sensors and communications in infrastructure management, integration of wireless device apps for improved traveler situational awareness, and introduction of connected and automated vehicles. This course explores the resulting "intelligent transportation system" through readings, case studies, projects, and discussion forums.

This course is co-taught in partnership with field engineers, project managers, subject matter experts, and executives from the top construction companies of the region, in a series of case-study sessions designed to bring CEM theory and practice into the same room. Prereq: Already taken CE 2030 or currently enrolled in CE 2030.

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.
