Focuses on society's interaction with water, air, and soil systems. Management of these major environmental components is examined, considering health and ecological needs and technical limitations. This course may stand alone as introduction to the current environmental challenges that we face, or as the foundation for further study in the field of environmental engineering. Prerequisites: CHEM 1410 or CHEM 1610

Normal stress and strain, thermal strain, shear stress, shear strain; stress and strain transformations; Mohr's circle for plane stress and strain; stresses due to combined loading; axially loaded members; torsion of circular and thin-walled closed sections; deformation, strains and stresses in beams; beam deflections; column stability; energy concepts in mechanics. Cross-listed as MAE 2310. Prerequisite: CE 2300 or MAE 2300

Covers topics related to hydraulics and hydrology, including complicated pipes designs, pumps, open channel, rainfall, evaporation, and surface runoff applied to stormwater and bmp design. Applications include water supply, drainage, flood control, and water control, and computer modeling. Prerequisite: CE 3210

The course emphasizes the formulation of environmental management issues as optimization problems. Simulation models will be presented and then combined with optimization algorithms. Environmental systems to be addressed include stream quality, air quality, water supply, waste management, groundwater remediation, and reservoir operations. Optimization techniques presented include linear programming, dynamic programming, and genetic algorithms.

Basic concepts of mechanics: systems of forces and couples: equilibrium of particles and rigid bodies; analysis of structures: trusses, frames, machines; internal forces, shear and bending moment diagrams; distributed forces; friction, centroids and moments of inertia; principle of virtual work; and computer applications. Cross-listed as MAE 2300. Prerequisite: PHYS 1425 or PHYS 1420 or PHYS 1710.

Fundamentals of transportation infrastructure design will be covered. Topics include: analysis of the characteristics of the driver, pedestrian, vehicle, and road; highway geometric design; intersection design and operations; highway drainage and drainage structures; highway pavement design. Prerequisite: CE 2010

Course provides a hands-on overview in energy infrastructure as it relates to climate and the environment. Students will learn quantitative tools to analyze power, buildings, manufacturing, and transportation systems. The course will explore the broad impacts of the energy transition away from fossil fuels. Students will undertake an open-ended, team-based life cycle assessment project.  Prerequisites: CE2100 or CHE2215.

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 purpose of this course is to introduce and familiarize students with engineering economics. Students will apply the concepts of the time value of money to infrastructure management. Students will be able to compare cash flows using net present value, future value, and cost-benefit analysis. Students will use cost indices to complete cost estimations. Students will be able to make appropriate adjustments for depreciation and inflation.

Lab study/basic principles in environmental engineering inc. reactor theory, fate & transport in the environment, wastewater treatment unit operations, climate change dynamics, & life cycle assessment. Lab, field, & online simulations will be used to produce data for analysis. Opportunity to develop design/experiments methodologies and to work in teams on written reports. Corequisite CE 2100
