This course focuses on the analysis and management of large-scale civil engineering systems. Students will be introduced to problem formulation, linear programming, and decision analysis, with applications in structural optimization, traffic flow, resource allocation and environmental design. Prerequisites: CE 2010 or SYS 2001

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

This course provides the essential aspects of the "Project lifecycle" process from the initial conception phase through the completion phase of a project. Specifically, by focusing on the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) projects, students will be introduced to important concepts related to planning and financing a project, budgeting and scheduling, and managing and controlling a technical engineering project.

Construction projects only occur when the needs of the market, sponsors, end-users, and society are sustainably met. In this course, students will learn how to: 1) plan successful business cases for construction projects considering technical, societal, financial, legal, environmental, and market limitations, 2) evaluate and select the best alternative, and 3) express it through a business plan while increasing their entrepreneurship competencies.

This course introduces students to the methods used by today's engineers regarding the management of solid waste. Specific topics include: solid waste management history and regulation; current issues regarding solid waste; planning, design, and operation of landfills; recycling facility operations; alternate solid waste disposal methods; and composting. Prerequisites: APMA 3110

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. Topic for each semester are announced at the time of course enrollment. Prerequisite: Fourth-year standing and instructor permission.

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

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 course will examine complex issues associated with providing potable water to the world's population. Topics will include the use of surface and ground water as potable water supplies, fund. of water chemistry, the engineering principles used to design modern water treatment and distribution systems, and problems associated with providing potable water in developing global communities. Pre-reqs: CHEM 1410 or CHEM 1810, and APMA 2130 or MATH 3250 or APMA 2501 - Differential Equations & Linear Algebra. (CE 3210 recommended)
