A flight structures program is
designed to meet the needs of industry
in the fields of high-speed and space
flight. The emphasis is on mechanics,
mathematics, fluid dynamics, flight
structures, and control. The program
is a part of the Guggenheim Institute
of Flight Structures in the department.
Specific information regarding degree
requirements is available in the
department office.
Courses in Civil
Engineering (CIEN)
See also Engineering Mechanics
(ENME), at the end of this section.
CIEN E1201y The art of structural design
3 pts. Lect: 3. Professor Deodatis.
An introduction to basic scientific and
engineering principles used for the design of
buildings, bridges, and other parts of the built
infrastructure. Application of these principles
to the analysis and design of a number of
actual large-scale structures. Experimental
verification of these principles through laboratory
experiments. Coverage of the history of
major structural design innovations and of
the engineers who introduced them. Critical
examination of the unique aesthetic/artistic
perspectives inherent in structural design.
Consideration of management, socioeconomic,
and ethical issues involved in the design
and construction of large-scale structures.
Introduction to some recent developments in
sustainable engineering, including green building
design and adaptable structural systems.
CIEN E3004y Urban infrastructure systems
3 pts. Lect: 3. Instructor to be announced.
Introduction to: (a) the infrastructure
systems that support urban socioeconomic
activities, and (b) fundamental system
design and analysis methods. Coverage of
water resources, vertical, transportation,
communications and energy infrastructure.
Emphasis upon the purposes that these
systems serve, the factors that influence their
performance, the basic mechanisms that
govern their design and operation, and the
impacts that they have regionally and globally.
Student teams complete a semester-long
design/analysis project with equal emphasis
given to water resources / environmental
engineering, geotechnical engineering and
construction engineering and management
topics.
