Building a concrete canoe offers hands-on experience with concrete mix designs and project management. The annual ASCE design challenge evolves each year. Students apply the engineering design process to research, design, build, test, and race a full-scale concrete canoe, contributing based on their skills and interests; might perform concrete and buoyancy calculations, or hydrodynamic flume testing. For Engineering students only.

Students will be introduced to current civil engineering challenges and emerging solutions. Research and practical case studies will be included. Participants will summarize and explore implications of introduced topics.

Behavioral sciences offer rigorous and rapidly advancing insight into how people interact with their environments and with each other. This project-based course will expand students' design repertoires by connecting to psychology and related fields. This course is for "designers" broadly construed: those who wish to influence areas such as architecture, engineering, policy, and business. Pre-reqs: CE2010 or SYS2001 or instructor permission.

This class focuses on the next generation of buildings where smart devices, Internet of Things (IoT) systems, machine learning applications, and simulations platforms will be utilized to contextualize the changes in indoor environments and occupants¿ needs, allowing building systems (e.g., HVAC, lighting, blinds) to dynamically adjust themselves to enhance the indoor environmental conditions from the health, comfort, and energy perspectives.

Advanced topics in reinforced concrete design, including design of slender columns, deflections, torsion in reinforced concrete, design of continuous frames, and two-way floor systems. Introduction to design of tall structures in reinforced concrete, and design of shear walls. Prerequisite: CE 3330.

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: Fourth-year standing and APMA 3110 or APMA 3100

Course equips you with essential knowledge & skills for managing complex projects. Navigate project fundamentals and apply hands-on techniques for successful outcomes. Master Critical Path Method for determining timelines & critical tasks, and utilize Resource-Based Scheduling to allocate resources efficiently. Gain practical experience with Oracle's Primavera P6 & expert insights from Plan Academy to enhance your scheduling software expertise.

This course offers a practical immersion in a live campus construction project, providing direct exposure to the roles and duties of Project Engineers, Managers, and Superintendents. By engaging in field activities, meetings, and context analysis, participants gain valuable hands-on understanding of construction management, problem-solving, and the decision-making process, preparing them with the competencies valued by industry experts.

This class surveys the breadth of Civil Engineering as a discipline, and is customized for graduate students without previous education in civil engineering. Students will learn the basics on a wide variety of design and practice topics within the field of civil engineering. Restricted to Civil Engineering Graduate Students with Instructor's Permission.

In this course, students will learn how to use Building Information Modeling to 1) support the decision-making over a project life cycle and 2) improve coordination between stakeholders throughout the design and construction stages. With this hands-on course, students will learn how to integrate all project models to visualize construction process and better predict, manage, and communicate project outcomes.
