CEE/MinE Electives
MINE 316/316A ENGINEERING AND CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS
(2-1) 3 credits. Prerequisite: Preceded by or concurrent with EM 216, and CEE 285. Principles that govern physical and mechanical properties of ferrous and nonferrous metals, plastics, bituminous materials, portland cement, aggregates, concrete, and timber. Laboratory exercises to demonstrate basic principles and standard laboratory tests (ASTM Standards) of structural materials. Computer-aided graphics and word processing are required for lab reports. This course is cross-listed with CEE 316.
(3-0) 3 credits. Prerequisites: CHEM 114, EM 223 and CEE 285. An introduction to the theories, principles, and design of environmental engineering systems. Topics include water chemistry, water and wastewater treatment, solid and hazardous waste management, and the mass balance approach to systems analysis. This course is cross-listed with CEE 326.
(2-1) 3 credits. Prerequisite: EM 216 and CEE 285 (GEOL 201 recommended). Composition, structure, index and engineering properties of soils; soil classification systems; introduction to soil engineering problems involving stability, settlement, seepage, consolidation, and compaction; laboratory work on the determination of index and engineering properties of soils. Computer applications are required. Computer-aided graphics and word processing are required for lab reports. This course is cross-listed with CEE 346.
(3-0) 3 credits. Prerequisite: CEE 346. Composition of soils, origin and deposition, exploration, frost problems, swelling of soils, erosion protection, soil improvement, groundwater flow and dewatering, slope stability of retaining structures, and rigid and flexible pavement design. The application of these topics to highway engineering will be stressed. Computer applications are required. This course is cross-listed with CEE 347.
MINE
474/574 ENGINEERING PROJECT MANAGEMENT
