Engineering approach to design process: conceptual, preliminary, intermediate, and final, Design methodology in problem identification, design requirements and constraints, design alternatives, final design and design documentation. Importance of environmental factors, team-work effort and ethics in engineering design projects. Use of computers and software in analysis, execution, and documentation of design. Practical examples and case studies in different civil engineering disciplines.

This course provides students with fundamental knowledge of ecology and earth systems and how they are interrelated. The course covers the biotic characteristics of the environment, biogeochemical cycles, physical-chemical characteristics of waters, atmosphere, soils and the subsurface, physical, chemical and microbial contaminants, process affecting contaminant transport and fate

This course is designed as a "first course" in the principles of geomeasurement including leveling for earthwork, linear and area measurements (traversing), mapping, and GPS/GIS. Basic surveying measurements and construction foe engineering project control, mapping, and construction layout. Leveling, earthwork, area, and topographic measurement using levels, total stations, and GPS. Application of mapping via GIS. Integrated approach to the measurement, analysis, management, storage, and presentation of the descriptions and locations of spatial data.

This is an intensive field work course, the main objective of this course is the understanding of basic surveying for construction, different methods of measurements are provided along with the use of different instrumentation and computing techniques.
