In this course, civil engineers learn to create resilient infrastructure that withstands climate impacts like floods, droughts, & heat. It covers risk assessment, managing uncertainty, and designing for climate adaptation, with a focus on water, energy, & transport systems. Students will use case studies to consider the effects on various communities, emphasizing equitable solutions, and complete a project on a climate challenge of their choice. Prerequisite: APMA 3110 or APMA 3100

Smart communities use technology to improve sustainability, resilience, & quality of life. Technology adoption depends on the specific needs & resources of a place. When done right, it can greatly benefit communities; if not, it can create inequality & privacy issues. This course gives students an understanding of advanced smart technology & hands-on experience to address community issues, showcasing technology's role in community improvement. Prerequisite: Fourth-Year Standing and CS 1110, or CS 1111, or CS 1112, or CS 1113.

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

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

Study of a civil engineering problem in depth by each student using library, computer, or laboratory facilities. The project is conducted in close consultation with departmental faculty and involves survey, analysis, or project development. Progress reports and a comprehensive written report are required. May be repeated if necessary. Prerequisite: Contact individual professor for Instructor Permission.
