This Course At a Glance
Semester

Fall

Credits

4 credits. Letter grades only.

Prerequisite

CEE 3310 or hydrology course.

Instructor(s)

T. Walter.

Teaches basic engineering design and analysis as practiced for water control and nonpoint source pollution prevention. Discusses the origins of design approaches, including their theoretical bases and recent or emerging methods and concepts. Most of the course is dedicated to practicing applied design. Assignments are generally representative of real-life engineering problems and involve as much hands-on experience as possible. Some example topics include risk analysis, water conveyance, stormwater management, including green infrastructure and low-impact development.

Outcome 1
Students will improve their ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science and mathematics (ABET 1).

Outcome 2
Students will demonstrate improved ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety and welfare, as well as relevant global, cultural, social, environmental and economic factors (ABET 2).

Outcome 3
Students will display an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences (ABET 3).

Outcome 4
Students will demonstrate an ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgements which consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts (ABET 4).

Outcome 5
Students will demonstrate an ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks and meet objectives (ABET 5).

Outcome 6
Students will demonstrate the ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies (ABET 7).

Outcome 7
Students will improve their capacity to integrate modern biology with engineering principles (ABET-BE).
