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.

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.

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.

Foundation engineering is the application of soil mechanics in the design of foundation elements for structures. The course covers properties of soils; subsurface exploration; bearing capacity; design of shallow foundations and mats; earth pressure theories and applications to design of retaining structures; stability of slopes; and an introduction to deep foundations. Prerequisites: CE 3310, CE 3710.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

This course focuses on urban stormwater management, covering its effects on infrastructure and ecosystems, hydrologic principles, regulations, and both structural and non-structural management strategies. It includes practical projects and modeling tools, with options for graduate customization to align with academic and career objectives. Graduate students have opportunity to customize class to their academic and professional goals.
