In the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE), courses in the civil engineering major are taught in a project-based and challenge-based manner. You gain experience working on projects and research that influences the future. Early College Program: The Clarkson SchoolĬivil engineers plan, design and construct our nation’s physical infrastructure, taking leadership roles in the responsible development and protection of our natural resources. Civil engineering encompasses several distinct disciplinary themes such as architectural engineering, construction engineering, environmental engineering, structural engineering and water resources engineering, and at Clarkson, we give our students opportunities to be successful in all of these areas.īuilding your future is something that must be earned, and in Clarkson's civil engineering undergraduate bachelor's degree program, you do just that.International Admissions, Undergraduate.Institute for a Sustainable Environment.Beacon Institute for Rivers and Estuaries.Students who do not complete all graduation requirements while enrolled in this course must enroll in a minimum of 6 dissertation hours (6699 or 6999) in their graduation term. This course may only be taken once and may not be repeated. Students should contact the Financial Aid Office, other sources of funding, Office of International Education and/or their graduate advisor to verify enrollment requirements before registering for this course. Additional hours may also be required to meet to requirements set by immigration law or by the policies of the student's degree program. Other funding sources may also require more than 3-hours of enrollment. To remain eligible in their final semester of study for grants, loans or other forms of financial aid administered by the Financial Aid Office must enroll in a minimum of 5 hours as required by the Office of Financial Aid. Students should verify that enrollment in this course meets other applicable enrollment requirements. Enrolling in this course meets minimum enrollment requirements for graduation, for holding fellowships awarded by The Office of Graduate Studies and for full-time GTA or GRA positions. This course may be taken during the semester in which a student expects to complete all requirements for the doctoral degree and graduate. Prerequisite: Grade of C or better in CE 5363 Grade of C or better in CE 5369 Programming language (FORTRAN, C, or MATLAB) and numerical analyses or consent of instructor.ĬE 7399. Applications of FEM including pile soil interaction and simple beam simulation. CAM clay model will be introduced and implemented in ABAQUS as a class exercise. Fundamentals of FEM will be introduced including: basic elements, formulation methods, coordinate transformation, and boundary conditions. A term project will be required that consists of a numerical experiment.
#CIVIL ENGINEERING HOW TO#
Students will learn how to make modifications to the basic code for their own applications. This course will use FORTRAN as the coding language. The four basic elements in DEM: initialization, search, contact models, velocity and displacement calculations will be introduced. This course covers two numerical simulation methods: discrete element method (DEM) and finite element method (FEM). Prerequisite: Graduate standing and consent of instructor.ĬE 6315. Chemistry of ground-level ozone formation, ozone layer depletion, acid deposition, fine particle formation, and climate change meteorological variables impacting pollutant transport in the atmosphere, such as atmospheric stability, turbulence and wind speed. Designed to give students an understanding of how pollutants react and travel in the atmosphere. Topic 3 - Air Pollution Chemistry and Meteorology. Design of air pollution control systems for stationary sources, including particle control technologies (cyclones, electrostatic precipitators, fabric filters and wet scrubbers) and gaseous control technologies (incinerators, adsorption systems, absorption systems, biofilters, nitrogen oxide controls, mercury controls, and carbon dioxide controls). Topic 2 - Air Pollution Control System Design. Use of Gaussian dispersion modeling software. The course covers 4 types of air quality models: box models, photochemical grid models (for ozone and particulate matter), Gaussian dispersion models (major emphasis), and receptor models. Mathematical models for predicting air pollutant transport and transformation in the atmosphere, to evaluate health impacts and potential control strategies. Topics include: Topic 1 - Air Quality Modeling. May be repeated for credit when topics vary. Sources, transport, fate, characteristics, and control of air contaminants.
