Courses

An introduction to programming in spreadsheet software and scientific programming specific to the field of Civil Engineering. The course covers, basic programming, importing data, preforming mathematical and statistics calculations, plotting, and exporting data.

Physical and mechanical properties of soils including weight-volume relationships, index and classification properties, compaction, permeability and consolidation characteristics. Effective stresses and soil strength parameters are also discussed. Previously offered as CEN 403.

Thesis research on an experimental or theoretical project in civil and environmental engineering under a faculty advisor. A formal thesis must be submitted to fulfill the course requirements.
