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

Behavior and design of structural elements and systems, including continuous beams, plate girders, composite steel-concrete members, members in combined bending and compression. Structural frames, framing systems, eccentric connections, and torsion and torsional stability are also studied. (Y) Prerequisites: CE 3330 or equivalent.

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.

Sustainability is the challenge of meeting today's needs without impairing the needs of future societies. This course seeks to provide an integrated scientific foundation to understand the sustainability of environmental systems and of some science-based sustainable solutions. Sustainability science will draw from a spectrum of relevant sciences, including chemistry, biology, environmental science, and physics. Pre-requisite: CHEM 1410 or CHEM 1810

Building a concrete canoe offers students hands-on experience with concrete mix designs and project management. Annual design challenge, set by the ASCE, evolves each year. Students apply the engineering design process to research, design, build, test and race a full-scale concrete canoe. Course will be offered as CE2720 for non-engineering students, focusing on financial, management, communications, and other tasks appropriate to their skills.

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.

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
