Course Descriptions
Numerical Code
For the engineering and technology courses, the following numerical codes are used.
• The first digit indicates the level of difficulty.
• The second digit indicates the course groups.
For common courses, the above codes do not apply.
The numbers after each course (e.g., 3(3-0-6)) represent the credits, lecture hours, laboratory/practice hours, and
self study hours, respectively.
Prerequisite / Corequisite Requirements
It is the responsibility of the student to meet all prerequisite and corequisite requirements. Students may not be
allowed to take a course if its prerequisites have not been satisfactorily passed. A corequisite course must be taken
concurrently or must have been previously passed.
CES201 Engineering Materials 3(3-0-6)
Prerequisite: None
Metals, plastics, asphalt, wood, cementitious materials,
and concrete as engineering materials. Phase
equilibrium diagrams and their interpretation. Testing and
meaning of properties. Study of macro and microstructures
in relationship with properties of engineering materials.
Production processes for products using engineering
materials. Deterioration and corrosion of engineering
materials.
CES202 Introduction to Building Facilities 3(3-0-6)
Prerequisite: None
Introduction to thermofluid science for buildings,
building system, components and environment in
buildings. Energy conversion and management. Piping
system, HVAC system, and lighting system for buildings.
Concepts of electrical system. Electrical devices and
their specifications. Symbols and circuit diagrams.
Standard electrical codes and practices. Load
characteristics and calculations. Power distribution and
wiring. Electrical systems for buildings.
CES215 Applied Mathematics in Civil 3(3-0-6)

Prerequisite: Have earned credits of MAS117
Ordinary differential equations of the first order. Linear
ordinary differential equations of higher order. General
ordinary differential equations. Boundary-value problems.
Introduction to weak formulations. Initial-value problems.

to probability and statistics.
CES302 Engineering Hydrology 3(3-0-6)
Prerequisite: None
Hydrologic cycle. Atmospheric water. Subsurface water.
Groundwater. Surface water. Unit hydrograph. Flood
routing. Hydrologic statistics. Frequency analysis.
CES303 Civil Engineering Training 0(0-0-0)
Prerequisite: Junior standing
Students are provided with on-the-job training at
selected governmental organizations, state enterprises
or private companies. The purposes of the course are to
provide the students opportunities to experience civil
engineering work other than what is learned in class.
The training period must not be less than 240 hours.
Student must submit a report at the end of the training
period. Satisfactory (S) or unsatisfactory (U) grade will
be given based on student's performance, quality of the
report, and supervisor's comments.
CES305 Urban Hydrology 3(3-0-6)
Prerequisite: None
Hydrologic cycle. Atmospheric water. Surface water. Unit
hydrograph. Hydrologic statistics. Frequency analysis.
Design storms. Design flows. Drainage design.
