Fundamental principles of thermodynamics and fluid flow. Includes fluids at rest, fluids in motion. Continuity, momentum and energy relations, ideal and viscous fluids. Emphasis on incompressible fluids. Description of pumps and open channels.

Overview of environmental chemistry and microbiology, water quality, water and wastewater treatment, solid and hazardous wastes management, hazardous waste remediation, and air pollution control. Emphasis on the basic science and engineering principles required to understand both natural and engineered systems, as well as the engineering approach to understanding the natural environment and specific treatment and mitigation methods.

A study of the microscopic and macroscopic structures and properties of materials used in civil engineering construction with emphasis on the relationships of their physical and mechanical properties to engineering design and application. Written reports and oral presentation of results will be required. Lecture, two hours; laboratory, three hours per week.

The course is designed to provide the graduating civil engineer with an integration of professional practice issues with planning, design, and construction. Topics to be covered will include: development of teaming, problem solving, and decision-making skills; development of written and oral technical communication skills; procurement of professional services; integration of planning, design, and construction activities; integration of environmental, legal, political, and social issues and concerns into the project process. All activities will be conducted in teams.
