Undergraduate Level 200 Courses
CEN 202 three credits
Mechanics of Materials
Prerequisite: C or better in EGR 241
3 hours lecture
The behavior of materials and members under axial load, torsion, flexure, shear and combined loads, including the deflection of beams and buckling of columns; the relationship between stress and strain, principal stresses and strains and yield and fracture criteria are discussed.
CEN 209 three credits
Introduction to Transportation Engineering Systems
Prerequisites: MTH 114 (or MTH 112) and PHY 111 (or PHY 113)
3 hours lecture
A comprehensive overview of the characteristics of transportation systems. Concepts in major areas such as geometric design, human factors, traffic engineering simulation, and transportation planning and evaluation, including travel behavior and socioeconomic effects, will be introduced. Principles of highway construction and design will be included.
CEN 212 One credit
Civil Engineering Materials Laboratory
Corequisite: CEN 202
3 hours laboratory
Laboratory experiments conducted to investigate the physical characteristics of materials and to verify the assumptions made in the course Mechanics of Materials (CEN 202). A series of laboratory experiments are conducted and production sites are visited to assess the engineering properties of aggregates and concrete.
CEN 219 one-half credit
Construction Materials Lab
Prerequisite: CEN 309
3 hours laboratory biweekly
A series of laboratory experiments aimed at measuring the engineering properties of asphalt, asphalt concrete and concrete to supplement the theory covered in CEN 309.
