An introduction to the composition, structure, properties, and behavior of civil engineering materials.
Learn about incompressible fluid mechanics. Topics include the principles of continuity, momentum and energy, kinematics of flow and stream functions, potential flow, laminar motion, turbulence, and boundary-layer theory.
Students learn about design, planning, operation, management, and maintenance of transportation systems. Topics include traffic flow models, capacity analysis, and safety.
Students analyze statically determinate and indeterminate beams, trusses, and rigid frames. Topics include deflections by virtual-work, moment-area, influence lines, force methods, and structural design loads.
Study the nature of flow of a real fluid, open channel flow, flow in pipes, and fluid forces on objects. An introduction to reservoirs, dams, pipelines, channels, hydraulic machinery, ground water, and more.
Students gain a fundamental understanding of environmental issues and sustainability. Topics include land use, energy efficiency, water use, indoor environmental quality, life cycle analysis, and construction waste disposal.
