CVE 210Sustainable Infrastructure3
Fall Sustainability has become of paramount concern in the 21st century, as we grapple with the global challenges, such as access to clean water and medicine, increasing demand for energy, environmental degradation, climate change, and the knowledge that our planet has limited resources. This course is an examination of the concept of sustainability and its application to the infrastructure that sustains society (e.g., water supply and distribution, energy production and delivery systems, food and agriculture, material construction and waste, etc.). This course provides an introduction to the current state of the science and public policy, as well as, a review of the physical, chemical, ecological, and economic principles used to examine interactions between humans and the natural environment. This is a discussion-based course and active participation is expected of all students. 3 credit hours
CVE 400 with a grade of 2.0 or higher and FCO 105 . 3 credit hours
CVE 405Civil Engineering Professional Practice Seminar2
Fall This seminar consists of weekly class attendances and includes all senior students in the Civil Engineering major. The course focuses on issues related to the professional practice of civil engineering, and is intended to augment and enrich the students’ CVE 400 capstone design experience. Topics include professional roles and responsibilities, professional registration, continuing education, engineering ethics, procurement of work, personal finances, leadership, business and public policy, and racial and social justice. The seminar will include presentations by guest lecturers on topics of current interest in the field of civil engineering. Guest lecturers will be primarily civil engineering practitioners, providing the students an opportunity to interact with professionals in their major field of interest. Students submit short weekly assignments and complete one book review.
Fall/Spring This course teaches the engineering thought process through the design of steel structures. The course synthesizes the fundamentals of statics, mechanics of materials, and structural analysis and applies them to the design of structural members, with emphasis on satisfying real-world needs. Topics include an introduction to the design of structural systems, design of steel tension and compression members, design of beams and beam-columns, and an introduction to connection design. All design is performed in accordance with codes and specifications used in current engineering practice. A comprehensive design problem requires development of a design methodology, consideration of alternative solutions, and design of an optimal steel structure to meet stated functional requirements.
Fall/Spring This course focuses on environmental design concepts, particularly physical and chemical processes governing water quality in natural and engineered systems. Emphasized topics will include reactor dynamics, coagulation and flocculation, sedimentation, filtration, gas transfer, adsorption and ion exchange, and membrane processes.
Fall/Spring This course focuses on the science, engineering, planning, design, and operation of water resources and systems. Topics covered include: rainfall/runoff hydrology, water conservation and utilization, water control including storm sewers and flood control, open channel flow hydraulics, and the impact of these designs on the natural environment.
Fall/Spring This course will build upon the fundamental knowledge provided in CVE 380, Construction Engineering, by applying engineering and construction management principles to realistic construction engineering problems such as excavating, earth-moving, loading, hauling, rock excavation, concrete, paving, quantity estimating, planning, and scheduling.
CVE 492Engineering Cooperative Work Experience (Co-op II)2
Co-op is a graduation requirement for all Engineering students. The student spends a total of three semester terms plus interim periods employed in an industrial organization or enterprise performing engineering-related work. Beginning with the summer term after the student’s sophomore year, he or she alternates work semesters with academic semesters until the spring semester of the senior year. Co-op employment is coordinated and monitored by the participating faculty member and the industrial mentor. Co-op reports are approved and signed by all three parties. Permission of the instructor is required to withdraw once a student is registered. Grading will be Pass/Fail.
CVE 493Engineering Cooperative Work Experience (Co-op III)2
Co-op is a graduation requirement for all Engineering students. The student spends a total of three semester terms plus interim periods employed in an industrial organization or enterprise performing engineering-related work. Beginning with the summer term after the student’s sophomore year, he or she alternates work semesters with academic semesters until the spring semester of the senior year. Co-op employment is coordinated and monitored by the participating faculty member and the industrial mentor. Co-op reports are approved and signed by all three parties. Permission of the instructor is required to withdraw once a student is registered. Grading will be Pass/Fail. Prerequisite or
Fall/Spring This course provides in-depth study of a special topic in engineering mechanics or in structural, geotechnical, environmental, water resources, construction, or transportation engineering not offered elsewhere in the YCP curriculum. The course is intended to broaden the student’s exposure to the civil engineering discipline. Course content will be based on the special expertise of the adjunct or visiting professor or a senior civil engineering faculty member. 3 credit hours

Fall/Spring/Summer The student, on an individual or small group basis, pursues advanced study of a research or design topic in civil engineering. The scope of the course is tailored to the needs of the project and desires of the student in consultation with the Faculty Advisor. The student is required to define and analyze the problem, study the fundamentals involved, organize an approach, determine a procedure, perform research and/or achieve a solution, submit a written report, and give a formal briefing.
