A hydrological study of the laws governing the occurrence, distribution, and movement of water in watershed systems. Meteorological considerations, precipitation, evaporation, infiltration, streamflow, hydrograph analysis, flood routing, open channel hydraulics, culvert design, pump systems, groundwater flow, and frequency analysis. Principals of mathematical models that describe the flow process in a natural watershed and hydraulic structures.

A study of the strength, deformation and hydraulic properties of soils and their relationship to settlement, stress distribution, earth pressure, bearing capacity and slope stability. Design of footing foundations and retaining walls. Written and oral presentations of student projects will be required. Lecture, three hours; laboratory, three hours per week.

Application of principles of solid mechanics to the design of steel, timber and reinforced concrete members and structures. Emphasis on basic ideas and their application to practical design of relatively simple structures according to building code.

Lean Construction is an innovative production management approach to designing and building construction projects and it focuses on increasing value and reducing construction wastes. The application of Lean is growing fast in the construction industry as more organizations are integrating Lean into their operations. In this course, students will learn about the Lean Philosophy, the Lean Culture, and the origins of Lean Construction and its connection to manufacturing. Students will become familiar with the term "value" and will explore the different types of "wastes".

This course will develop and understanding of: safety and health; cost and human impact; hazard and risk analysis; psychological facts of organizational culture and climate; design safe work procedures for the execution of particular types of work; and individual versus management level improvement in safety and health procedures in the construction process.

Procedures for locating or relocating the boundaries of real property; records searching, technical aspects of field work, preparation of descriptions and survey reports, land data systems, legal aspects, special problems.

This course focuses on the application of quantitative sustainable design to engineering infrastructure and technologies. Quantitative sustainable design is a process of mechanistically linking design and operational decisions to sustainability indicators to inform decision- making. This process enables navigation of trade-offs across dimensions of sustainability (e.g., environmental, economic, social) so that design and operation can be informed by sustainability metrics.

CE 525 focuses on GIS as a tool in Civil Engineering. The terms and concepts related to Geographic Information Systems are introduced. The management of spatial databases, particularly those related to Civil Engineering, is covered. Students will collect data using a Global Positioning System (GPS). Students will be required to use the ArcGIS Pro to solve a specific individual spatial problem that they propose based on several Civil Engineering databases available to them.
