CE4993Senior Team Design6 ch (1C 3L)

Working in teams, students will complete a full year civil engineering design project that draws on their combined knowledge from the core courses in the program. By engaging an identified client with a design problem, student teams will work through the entire process of developing a design solution with the support of industry and academic mentors. Students will manage their projects professionally, prepare comprehensive design documentation, and present and defend all aspects of their design to the client and a broader audience.

Prerequisites: Completion of all Civil Engineering core courses. Exceptions will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

CE5411Water Supply and Wastewater Removal3 ch (3C)

Design, operation, and rehabilitation of municipal water and sewer systems with a focus on asset management. Topics include estimation of water and wastewater flow rates, transportation and distribution of potable water, collection and conveyance of wastewater, and modelling system performance.

Prerequisite: CE 3713, CE 3963.

CE5421Water Quality and Treatment4 ch (3C 2L)

Applied water chemistry, epidemiological analysis, drinking water sources and characterization, water treatment processes and design, unit operations and processes in drinking water treatment plants and their preliminary design, water treatment plant design, public health issues and case studies. The content is focused towards drinking water quality and treatment issues. 

 Prerequisites: CHEM 1982 (or equivalent) and CE 3403 or CHE 2004, or permission of course instructor. 

CE5633Construction: Advanced Technologies3 ch (3C)
Learn about tools and techniques required for analytics and visualization in modern construction engineering and management (CEM). Emphasis is on the use of mathematical and optimization/simulation modeling (e.g. queue theory and analytical hierarchy process) in combination with visualization tools to support CEM decisions.

Prerequisite: CE 3603
