This one-credit course is an introduction to fluid mechanics and water distribution
theory and design practice. The objective of the course is to expose students to basic
fluid principles and then put principles to practice on computer-based water
distribution piping networks. A final project wraps up the course with a real-life
scenario of water distribution problems and solutions using theory learned over the
semester. No prerequisites. One hour of lecture per week.
This two-credit course introduces the engineering student to various construction
materials that are commonly used in civil engineering projects, such as aggregates,
asphalt, concrete, steel, wood, and pipe materials. The purpose of this course is to
explore, compare, and contrast the properties and behaviors of these various
materials and the raw materials and methods that go into their production or
manufacture. A weekly lab or field trip helps to emphasize these topics. No
prerequisites. One hour of lecture and one and a half hours lab per week.
Special Topics courses include ad-hoc courses on various selected topics that are not part of the regular curriculum, however they may still fulfill certain curricular requirements. Special topics courses are offered at the discretion of each department and will be published as part of the semester course schedule - view available sections for more information. Questions about special topics classes can be directed to the instructor or department chair.
