CIVIL ENGINEERING THIRD YEAR CLASSES

A continuation of CIVENG 3A03, in this class students, will learn about the shear strength characteristics and failure criteria for soils. Furthermore, students will also learn about direct shear, triaxial, plane strain, and field tests. This class will also introduce bearing capacity theory, slope stability, and embankment analysis.

In this class, students will use mathematical models and systems to solve a variety of civil engineering-based problems. Furthermore, students will also learn about economic comparison of projects, optimization, linear, nonlinear, and dynamic programming, and simulation modeling.

This class is a continuation of CIVENG 2C04. In this class, students will learn about structural analysis and modeling of linear elastic truss, beam, and frame structures as well as stress resultants and deformations of statically determined structures. Furthermore, this class also goes through the process of analysis for indeterminate structures, stiffness matrixes, and plane frame computer analysis.

This class is a continuation of CIVENG 3P04 and is built on the fundamentals of that course. In this class students will design by limit states methods to ensure adequate capacities for bending moment, shear and diagonal tensions, axial force, bond and anchorage, and design to satisfy serviceability requirements for deflection and cracking. Furthermore, students will practically design and interpret building codes for the behaviors of various structures.

This class introduces the concepts of transportation engineering. In this class, students will conduct a transportation impact study that serves as the focal point for a large group project. Furthermore, this class also covers material on traffic flow characteristics, capacity, and control for signalized intersections, and travel demand forecasting as well as safety and social aspects of transportation.

Every single team member pitched in for this challenging yet fulfilling project. Although complicated and time-consuming, coming up with solutions for the Suspension Bridge was an incredible accomplishment for us. We’re looking forward to Phase 2, when we can showcase even more of our resourcefulness and expertise.

This class is the continuation of CIVENG 2B04 and CIVENG 2O04. In this class, students will learn about the analysis and design of water distribution networks, wastewater collections systems, and pumps. Students will also learn about surface and groundwater supplies.

A precursor to CIVENG 3J04 and is an introduction to concrete and other engineering materials. In this class, students will learn about the behaviors and use of civil engineering materials such as concrete, metal, wood, and composites. Students will also learn about the physical, chemical, and mechanical properties and quality control and materials tests for the materials. Furthermore, students will also learn about the concepts of structural design, limits states design, and estimation of structural loads.

In this class students will be introduced to the fundamental concept of project management and construction industry, This class will cover project and project management overview, construction industry and project, project participants, project chronology, construction contracts, and delivery methods. Furthermore, students will learn about project estimating, construction planning, and scheduling as well as an introduction to engineering economics. Note that this class is not available to students in the management program.
