Microbial Aspects Of Environmental Engineering
Environmental microbiology for engineering students with emphasis on microbially mediated chemical cycles, microbial ecology, and industrial microbiology.
Environmental microbiology for engineering students with emphasis on microbially mediated chemical cycles, microbial ecology, and industrial microbiology.
This course studies the principles, methodology and analysis of geographic information systems and spatially-referenced data unique to water resources and hydrologic modeling. Lectures will explore the latest GIS concepts, hydrologic modeling relationships and data sources and be complimented with computer- based laboratory exercises.
Current and historic design methods of buildings and their components using wood, wood products, bricks, and concrete blocks.
A detailed investigation of a topic of current significance in civil engineering such as: design of small earth dams, man and the environment, drilling and blasting, scheduling construction operations, construction equipment and methods, traffic safety, optimum structural design, environmental impact analysis, systems analysis in civil engineering, motor vehicle noise and its control. May be repeated to a maximum of eight credits, but only four credits can be earned under the same title. A particular topic may be offered at most twice under the CE 599 number.
The course covers the theory and actual practices of organization, management and operation of engineering companies. Primary emphasis on construction companies; however, the principles apply to most service oriented engineering companies. Students will be required to do several independent exercises related to establishing an engineering company.
Planning location and design of airports, STOL ports, and heliports. Air traffic operations, performance and control as related to facility requirements. Role of governmental agencies.
Vehicle operating characteristics; driver, pedestrian and roadway characteristics as they individually, and collectively as traffic stream characteristics, are related to the planning design and operation of highway facilities.
Detailed study of soil behavior. Specific topics include soil classification and structure, strength and deformational behavior, compaction, consolidation, and stress distribution in earth masses.
This course deals with the geotechnical aspects of the design of landfills for the dispiosal of municipal solid waste. Since landfill design is driven by state and federal regulations, time is taken to review these regulations. Landfills are evaluated as engineered systems consisting of multiple components.
Theory and application of energy principles for plane and space frames; shear wall structures; geometric and material nonlinear formulations; and nonlinear solution strategies. Solution techniques for the analysis of large complex structures. Introduction to plane stress/strain, axisymmetric and plate bending finite element analysis.
