Courses
An introduction to programming in spreadsheet software and scientific programming specific to the field of Civil Engineering. The course covers, basic programming, importing data, preforming mathematical and statistics calculations, plotting, and exporting data.
Physical and mechanical properties of soils including weight-volume relationships, index and classification properties, compaction, permeability and consolidation characteristics. Effective stresses and soil strength parameters are also discussed. Previously offered as CEN 403.
Research investigations of a fundamental and/or applied nature defining a topic area and preliminary results for the dissertation proposal undertaken before the student has qualified for EAS 701. With approval of the student's graduate committee, up to 15 credits of EAS 601 may be applied to the 30 credit requirement for dissertation research.
