Addresses physical principles, numerical analysis and elementary design problems in each area. Emphasis on computer use (text processing, spreadsheet and graphics). Team design project. Course ObjectivesCourse Objectives Introduce various subdisciplines in Civil Engineering Teach commonly used software tools Provide context for material in other courses Motivate other course materials Hands-on, project oriented experiences Illustrate the fun of engineeringWhat we did not coverWhat we did not cover Coastal engineering– Wave mechanics – Beach and shoreline erosion Interaction of coastal structures with waves and sediments Environmental engineering– Air quality– Remediation Water resources– Storm water– Hydraulic modeling Fluid mechanicsWhat we did not cover … What we did not cover … continuedcontinued Traffic engineering Railroad engineering Airport engineering Bio-engineering Geotechnical engineering Materials– High performance material– Engineered materials2What we did not cover … What we did not cover … continuedcontinued As much fun as we could have As many hands on experiences An in-depth experience with computer based toolsReviewReview Significant digits Measurement Resolution of forces Simple statics– Reactions– equilibrium Bridge engineering Ethics The Professional Engineer Environmental engineering / pollutionReview …. continuedReview …. continued Design Construction– Estimation– Scheduling Transportation planning Engineering economicsDimensions and units and Dimensions and units and Engineering estimationsEngineering estimations use consistent and correct units use an appropriate number of significant digits accuracy vs precisionForces and MomentsForces and Moments Types of load (sources, point, distributed) Types of structures Resolution of forces Resultants Moments– effects Equilibrium Free body diagrams ReactionsStrength of MaterialsStrength of Materials Stress and strain Modulus of elasticity Yield strength Ultimate strength Design Stress / Factor of safety – allowable stress– LRFD3Environmental EngineeringEnvironmental Engineering Related fields Pollution Conservation of massThe Engineering MethodThe Engineering Method Recognize and understand the problem Accumulate data and verify accuracy Identify appropriate principles/theories Make necessary assumptions Solve the problem Analyze, verify and evaluate the solution Implement the solutionConstruction managementConstruction management project life cycle (as opposed to the facility life cycle) roles in construction what is construction management? types of contracts contract provisionsCost estimationCost estimation materials labor equipment direct/ indirect costs waste/ swell methods– engineering unit costs– statistical Terminology - WBS, SPRConstruction planning and Construction planning and schedulingscheduling WBS Duration Predecessors Scheduling GANTT charts Critical pathEngineering EconomicsEngineering Economics time value of money discount rate, costs of capital, minimum attractive rate of return (MARR), interest rate simple interest/ compound interest cash flow diagram present value/ future value economic equivalence4Engineering EthicsEngineering Ethics moral development (Kohlberg) theories– Utility– Duty– Human rights– Virtues Codes of ethics Lots of case studiesGeneral KnowledgeGeneral Knowledge Civil engineering terminology Awareness of the environment Knowledge of sub-disciplines within Civil Engg Problem solving methods Role of civil engineering Resources – career center, libraryHints for the FinalHints for the Final Studying– Look over the practice test– Look over your notes and homework– Prepare a one page summary with key equations and facts– Do the practice test– Review the solution (on class website)– Review areas you think are weak Look over your notes Come to office hours Make an appointmnetHints for the Final ….
