Indoor Environmental Quality.

CEE 444 Solid Waste Management
Credits: 3 (3,0,0) Prerequisite: Senior Level Standing
Evolution of solid waste management. Sources, types, and composition of municipal solid waste.
Physical, chemical, and biological properties of municipality solid waste. Management and
planning issues. Hazardous wastes found in municipal solid waste. Solid waste generation Waste
handling and separation, storage, and processing at the source. Collection of solid waste and
material separation and processing technologies. Thermal conversion technologies. Biological and
chemical conversion technologies. Recycling of Materials found in solid waste. Disposal of solid
waste Closure of landfills.

CEE 446 Air Pollution Management
Credits: 3 (3,0,0) Prerequisite: Senior Level Standing
The course introduces the effects of air pollutants on human beings and environment, the sources
of air pollution, and the physical and chemical behavior of pollutants in the atmosphere. Also, it
covers legislation and regulation; control technologies and future trends toward preventing air
pollution.

CEE 447 Groundwater Engineering
Credits: 3 (3,0,0) Prerequisite: CEE 341
Fundamental science of hydrogeology, the study of the distribution and movement of water
through geologic formations, i.e. soil, sediments, and rocks. The mathematical models of fluid flow
in porous media and methods for solving these equations (e.g., analytical, numerical, and
statistical approaches). Practical groundwater engineering problems: characterizing the
subsurface using aquifer tests, transport and remediation of contaminants, and innovations in
groundwater management, as time permits.

CEE 463 Deep Foundations
Credits: 3 (3,0,0) Prerequisite: Senior Level Standing

Site investigation for deep foundations; Analysis, design and installation of pile foundations; axial
capacity and settlement of pile and pile groups; drilled piers and caissons; Rock socketed piles,
negative skin friction, and effects of soil movement on pile; Static and Dynamic Pile Load test.

CEE 464 Concrete Technology
Credits: 3 (3,0,0) Prerequisite: Senior Level Standing
This course explores the various aspects of concrete technology. It will emphasize on the design
of concrete mixes using different approaches, the different types and properties of cement
replacement materials. It will also cover special concretes which include self-compacting concrete,
fiber reinforced concrete, high strength concrete, lightweight aggregate concrete and polymer
concrete. Overview of the concrete production and delivery process, Hot and cold weather
concreting and shotcreting, will also be covered.

CEE 465 Assessment and Repair of Reinforced Concrete Structures
