CEE241 Introduction Environmental Engineering
Credits: 3(3,0,0) Prerequisites: BIO101
This is an introductory course in Environmental Engineering. Sources and environmental effects
of pollutants will be conceptualized. Fundamental principles that are the foundation for the field
of environmental engineering will be overviewed. This course explores how these principles are
applied to water quality engineering, air quality engineering, and hazardous waste management.
Impact of human activities and projects on the environment will be discussed. This course will
enable the students to think in an interdisciplinary manner, to make judgments and decisions to
solve environmental problems.

CEE242 Fluid Mechanics
Credits: 3 (3,0,1) Prerequisites: PHY205
Basic principles of fluid mechanics. Topics include fluid properties, statics, forces on plane and
curve surfaces, kinematics of fluid motion, integral and differential representation of conservation
of mass, balance of linear and angular momentum, the first Law of Thermodynamics, continuity
equation, Bernoulli’s equation, energy principle, dimensional analysis, and elementary viscous
flow. Frictional losses, simple pipeline analysis and steady channel flow are covered.

CEE261 Structural Analysis I
Credits: 3 (3,1,0) Prerequisites: EM203 Co-requisite: EE101 and CEE262
Equilibrium, stability, and determinacy. Influence lines for beams and trusses. Deflection of
beams and frames by double-integration method, moment-area theorems, and conjugate beam.
Introduction to indeterminate structures. Approximate analysis of indeterminate building frames.
Computer structural analysis applications.

CEE262 Mechanics of Materials
Credits: 3 (2,1,2) Prerequisites: EM203 and MATH113
This course tackles the fundamentals of properties of structural materials; analysis of stress and
deformation in axially loaded members, circular shafts, and beams, and in statically indeterminate
systems containing these components. Specifically, the course will come across the following
topics: Definitions of stress and strain; Stress, strain, and deformation of axially loaded bars and
torsionally loaded shafts; Distributed loads; Statically indeterminate problems; Stress and strain
components and transformations and Mohr’s circle; Pressure vessels; Linear elastic constitutive
equations; Shear and moment diagrams; Bending and transverse shear stress; Combined loading;
Beam deflection; and Column buckling. Laboratory experiments are associated with the lectures.

CEE322 Highway and Transportation Engineering
Credits: 3 (3,1,0) Prerequisites: EM301
This course will introduce the student to the fundamentals of transportation and highway
engineering – from planning and design to operations. The course introduces the technological,
economic, and social aspects of transportation. It emphasizes concepts of geometric, structural
design, and construction of highways, also characteristics of driver, vehicles, and roads. Supply-
demand interactions, traffic studies, and analysis. Besides, highway safety and intelligent
transportation systems are covered.
