CEE 322 Highway and Transportation Engineering
Credits: 3 (3,1,0) Prerequisites: EM 301

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.

CEE 323 Construction Project Management
Credits: 3 (3, 0, 0) Prerequisite: CEE 205

This course provides students with a solid understanding of the process and practice of project
management of construction projects. Items covered include construction project characteristics
and phases; construction job site layout; material and equipment planning and procurement;
operations and processes analysis and planning; productivity and resource use considerations;
performance benchmarking, measurement, analysis, enhancement, and control; safety and health
practices for the construction industry; and Communications types – project logs, reports,
submittals, meetings, and close out.

CEE 421 Legal Aspects of Engineering
Credits: 3(3,0,0) Prerequisites: ETHC 305
A course on the structure for how contractual aspects and relationships work in construction
industry; with respect of contract law and legal rules application in actual practice; similarly how
the legal problem are managed; specifically subject covered the prime construction process,
principal documents for design services and subcontracting service; standard form documents---
for design and prime construction services; Project participants and the Initial Decision Maker
(IDM); the contracts, procurements and bid evaluation, construction contract documents and
specifications, torts, parties in contract, professional liability, changes and variation orders,
insurance expert testimony, arbitration, patents and copyrights, sureties and ethics.

CEE 241 Introduction Environmental Engineering
Credits: 3(3,0,0) Prerequisite: BIO 101

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.

CEE 242 Fluid Mechanics
Credits: 3 (2,1,2) Prerequisites: PHY 205

Basic principles of fluid mechanics. Topics include fluid properties, statics, forces on plane and
