The course focuses on advanced information systems used to control and predict project performance (cost and schedule) in construction. Building Information Modeling is examined as a systems approach of integrating design and construction for the benefit of developing construction work packages, 4D simulations, clash detection, trade coordination, and status visualization

Principles and applications of environmental biotechnology for water quality control. Process microbiology and kinetics for various water and wastewater treatment processes.

This course provides an overview of the scientific principles and management strategies used to effectively manage the physical, chemical, biological and social resources within a watershed so as to improve and sustain the integrity of the watershed system. The course will examine watershed management from both a scientific/engineering perspective as well as from a social science/policy perspective. Examples of effective watershed management will be drawn from cases studies in Kentucky and the United States.
