19 courses with the subject CIVE, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
CIVE 110Introduction to Surveying Credits: 33
The course introduces the principles and methods for measuring different quantities in the lab and in the field. Students will collect data and then using a CAD tool, such as AutoCAD Civil, create a site plan and then make a presentation of the prepared plan. Students will work in small teams to complete these tasks.
The course provides an introduction to the strength of different materials. Students will learn about different types of stresses, how to analyze and measure those stresses and find the limits of the materials. Students will design and build models to test how well their designs can meet project requirements. 4 credits.
Methods for analyzing statically determinate and indeterminate strucures and loads. Course presents methods for analyzing staically determinate loads, including equations of equilibrium, shear-moment diagrams, and influence lines. Course also presents methods of statically indeterminate loads, including approximations, moment-area theorems, conjugate-beam method, Castiglaino’s theorem, the force method, and slope-deflection methods.
The design and behavior of steel structures. Course analyzes the strength and limits of steel members including girders, beams, and columns. The course will also study the behavior and design of different joining techniques, including welding, bolting, and gusset plates. Mixed concrete and steel structures will also be introduced. Students will also learn about relevant safety considerations and code requirements for building steel structures. 3 credits.
CIVE 320Construction Methods and Materials Credits: 33
This course provides an introduction to a variety of construction methods and the amterials used in them. Students learn about the material properties, such as hardness, torsional strength, and tensile strength. Students will also study the long-term mechanical and non-mechanical properties of various building materials and the physical properties that act on them, such as corrosion, cold and work hardening, and fatigue. Students will also study different construction methods and the applicability of materials to those techniques. Students will carry out lab experiements on materials and will work to design and test scale models. 3 credits.
An introduction to topics in environmental engineering. The course provides an introduction to environmental chemistry, air and water pollution, environmental mass and energy balances, and interactions between the air-water interface. The course also studies topics in sustainability, including waste management, risk assessment, and impact human activity has on the environment.
Theoretical and experimental aspects of surface-water flows. Topics include uniform and non-uniform flow, critical, sub-critical, and super-critical flow, gradually varied flow, hydraulic jump, contaminant transport, and channel design.
Introduces topics related to reinforced concrete structures. Specifically, the different types of loads that they experience including flexure, shear, axial loads, and torsion, strategies for designing using different types of concrete and targeting different types of structures, including beams, columns, and slabs. 3 credits.
Focuses on the construction project life-cycle, from planning phases through start-up and commissioning. Topics include: procurement, contracts, estimating, and bidding; scheduling and planning techniques; performance measurement and process control. The course also emphasizes site management, safety, risk and value management. Other topics include: contract claims and management, liability, sub-contracting, quality management, benchmarking. 3 credits.
Junior or senior standing (60 or more credits earned).
CIVE 410Foundation Engineering Credits: 33
Course studies topics related to design and construction of foundation structures. Topics include: soil parameters, bearing capacity, settlement, and structural design of shallow and deep foundations and retaining walls. 3 credits.
An introduction to transportation engineering. Topics include planning and design to operation of transportation systems. The course will explore the various modes and complexity of various transportation systems as both a human activity and as an engineering discipline. 3 credits.
Introduction to site data collection and modeling site characteristics. The course also introduces the finite element method for modeling physical system and its application to structural analysis. 3 credits.
This course focused on engineering applications of the science of hydrology. The course content includes the following topics: Precipitation Data Analysis, Rainfall - Runoff Analysis, Rational Method, Curve Number Method, Unit Hydrograph, Lumped and Distributed Flow Routing, Reservoir and River Flood Routing, Kinematics / Diffusive / Dynamic Waves, Groundwater, Design Storm/Flow, Watershed Modelling and Hydrologic Design, Risk and Uncertainty Analysis, and Bayesian Decision Analysis.
MCAE 220 with C or better. Graduate Credit: This course is not available for graduate credit.
CIVE 440Water and Wastewater Treatment Credits: 33
This course introduces theory and practice used to treat water into either safe drinking water or wastewater that is safe to reintroduce to the environment. Topics include different types of pollutants, processes to treat those pollutants, and measuring the impacts of those processes on the performance of a treatment system. 3 credits.
Introduces topics around solid and hazardous waste management engineering. Topics include technology for collection and disposal, health and policy issues, regulations, distribution of contamination into the environment, and impacts on public health and safety.
CIVE 451Water and Wastewater Conveyance Systems Design Credits: 33
This course is divided into two intimately related topics that are most relevant to civil and Environmental engineering areas; namely, Water Supply/Distribution Systems and Waste and Storm Water Collection Systems. Students will learn identification and evaluation of design solutions for providing a community with adequate water supply, storage tanks, pumping stations, water resources, water demand forecasting, collecting and disposing of stormwater and sewage, and managing excess stormwater flow.
CIVE 331 and CIVE 436 with C or better. Graduate Credit: This course is not available for graduate credit.
CIVE 460Highway Engineering and Design Credits: 33
Pavement types; Materials used in flexible pavement layers (soil, aggregate, and asphalt); Calculation of Equivalent Standard Axle Loads (ESAL); flexible pavement thickness design, Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) design; Highway construction operations; highway performance.
CIVE 320 Graduate Credit: This course is not available for graduate credit.
CIVE 499Civil Engineering Capstone Credits: 33
The goal of the capstone project is to provide students with an opportunity to work on a real-world engineering project and provide valuable experience to the students. Under the supervision of faculty, students will work on teams with other engineering students to lead the design and development, and ultimately the final approval of the project. 3 credits.
