This program is available only to non-engineering majors who would
like an overview of the principles of civil engineering. The
following courses are required:

1. Core Courses:

110.108-109 Calculus I, II
500.141 Perspectives on the Evolution of Structures
560.201 Statics and Mechanics
560.206 Solid Mechanics and Theory of Structures

2. Seminar (four semesters):

560.491-494 Civil Engineering Seminar

3. A two-course sequence in either structures, foundations, or fluids.

The structures sequence consists of two of the following:

560.445 Advanced Structural Analysis
560.320 Steel Structures
560.325 Concrete Structures
560.349-350 Design and Synthesis

The foundations sequence consists of 560.305 Soil Mechanics and one of the following:

560.330 Foundation Design
560.349-350 Design and Synthesis

The fluids sequence consists of the following:

570.351 Introduction to Fluid Mechanics
560.380 Introduction to Ocean Science and Engineering

Breaking waves on a beach numerically modeled by Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics. The mechanisms of wave breaking, the resulting surf zone turbulence, and sediment transport, are studied by Professor Dalrymple and his students in the Coastal/Ocean Program.
