CENG 7895 Sustainable Design of Engineering Technology.

Fall 23

Students develop an understanding of quantitative sustainable design (QSD) and how to navigate engineering decision-making. Students learn tools for economic (life cycle costing, LCC; technoeconomic analysis, TEA) and environmental (life cycle assessment, LCA) sustainability assessments, and how to link these tools to engineering design decisions under uncertainty. Students will design engineered technologies individually and in teams, with special attention to water infrastructure, water quality processes, green chemistry, and bioenergy production. Students also complete a semester-long design of an engineered technology.

CENG 4518 Introduction to Senior Project.

Spring 24, Fall 23, Summer 23, Spring 23, Fall 22, Summer 22, Spring 22, Fall 21

Students work in teams to develop their capstone project proposal related to the initiation of a major civil, environmental, or construction project. They also demonstrate an ability to justify professional decisions based on ethical principles. To aid in their future careers, students learn skills related to stakeholder engagement, construction law, and leadership.

CENG 2131 Fluid Mechanics.

Spring 24, Fall 23, Spring 23, Fall 22, Spring 22, Fall 21

Students learn to apply the principles of continuity, energy, and momentum to fluid motion. This learning process involves a variety of classroom lectures, laboratory exercises, and demonstrations aimed at reinforcing fundamental concepts including hydrostatics, laminar flow, turbulent flow, surface resistance, fluid measurement, flow in conduits and channels, pumps, and turbines.

CENG 1731 Civil Engineering Computations.

Spring 23, Spring 22

Students learn information on the use of computing tools in civil engineering via common tools such as EXCEL, R and RStudio, and MATLAB. Students learn how to use the computing tools in civil engineering to 1) calculate, graph, solve problems, and communicate technical ideas, with mathematical expressions using standard math notation; 2) perform various calculations and use charts of different types to visually display data; 3) create and modify calculations.
