This course is an introduction to the issues of justice and how we define, appropriate, and ensure justice today. The ethical principle of justice is the touchstone for American law, and a vision for our judiciary system. While dentists, as members of society, comply with laws in a way common to all other citiens, they also have additional legal responsibilities which derive from the unique relationship dentist and dentists have with society generally and patient specifically.

Designed for motivated 4th year medical students who want to understand more about Hospice and Palliative Care. This rotation will present students with a multidisciplinary approach to caring for patients by working with doctors. nurses, home health care providers and chaplains.

Study of the transportation engineering aspects of efficient management of railway freight, passenger and intermodal operations and the relationships to the other major transport modes - water, highway, air, pipeline and overland conveyor. Prereq: CE 331 and engineering standing.

The course critically examines repetitive operations that occur from project to project and the deterministic approached used to design and optimize their effectiveness. Scientific techniques used to field measure the efficiency of construction operations are also examined. The primary metrics used to optimization include cost, schedule, and sustainability.

This course investigates the principles and practices for the control of budget and schedule for construction projects. Topics studied include: estimating construction costs and developing a project budget, planning construction operations and developing a project schedule, documenting and reporting of project progress and spending, and the management of change of contract mount, contract time, and contract scope of work.

Analysis of transportation facilities through a diagnostic study of transportation systems with emphasis on design, capacity and safety. Engineering practice oriented toward open-ended design solutions, mostly focused on roadway design.

Design, analysis, construction and management of flexible and rigid pavements. Stresses and strains, pavement materials, subgrade soil stabilization, bases and subbases, quality control, drainage, pavement-type selection, and pavement management.

Application of basic fluid mechanics to problems of importance to civil engineering practice. This includes flow measuring, closed conduit flow and pipe networks, open channel flow, turbomachinery (pumps), hydraulic structures, culvert flow.

Rainfall physics, principles of erosion on upland areas and construction sites, stable channel design in alluvial material, mechanics of sediment transport, river mechanics, reservoir sedimentation.

The course objective is to gain an understanding of the watershed sedimentation including: (1) erosion and sediment transport processes in a watershed and the mechanisms by which the processes are initiated, developed, and worked towards equilibrium; (2) measurement of the sediment budget for a watershed using sediment fingerprinting and sediment loading data; and (3) prediction of sediment loading in watershed with different human disturbances using hydrologic-based modeling tools.
