Laboratory study of soil properties. Students will gather and evaluate data to determine particle size, permeability, dry density, compressive strength, shear strength, and critical water contents of soil specimen. Students will conduct ASTM standard soil tests and prepare written reports. Pre-requisite CE 2310, Co-requisite CE 3710.

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

Through this course students will develop critical engineering skills for sustainable land development, including project procurement, road design, utility/stormwater design, site grading design, and construction. The course provides an experience similar to working in a professional site/civil engineering design firm. Project work will require the use of technology design tools (CAD), leadership, and problem solving. Prerequisite: CE 2010

Direct stiffness analysis of frames and grids; second order frame analysis; uniform torsion of non-circular sections; influence functions; introduction to work and energy theorems; polynomial approximation and approximate stiffness matrices for framed structures; topics in beam analysis including shear deformable beams, beams on elastic foundations and elastic foundations. Prerequisite: CE 3300 or equivalent.

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.

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.

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.
