Course Contents: Provides students with the type of design experience they would receive if engaged in civil and environmental engineering design practice.  Students can select from these design areas: structures, geotechnical engineering, transportation and planning, and sanitary and environmental engineering.

 * Tentative Schedule

BASIS OF GRADING

*25% of grade will be weighted  according to individual participation

The final grades in the course shall be determined as follows:

POLICIES
 

The NJIT Honor Code will be upheld and any violations will be brought to the
immediate attention of Dean of Students.
 Students will be notified by the instructor to any modifications or deviations from
the syllabus throughout the semester.
 Make sure that your email address stated in Moodle is correct and you are using
it regularly. Communication will be sent only to the NJIT e-mail address.
 Each report should include (but not limited) a statement clearly identifying the problem
in your words, proposing the model, showing the design calculations, illustrating with
sketches, providing drawings wherever necessary and conclusions. All the references
should be clearly stated. All assumptions should be justified.
 Attendance in each class is mandatory to get a passing grade.
Drawings must be done in CAD
 Electronic versions of submittals will not be accepted.
 Please keep a copy of all your work until you received a final grade.
 All work should be done in a professional manner.
 Submittals are due at the beginning of class. Late submittals will incur a 50% deduction if
handed in the same day, and 100% deduction after that.
 A 25% weightage is provided for individual participation including attendance.  
Switch off laptops and cell phones during class unless when using them in reference to an assignment.
 No recording devices shall be used during class.                             

CEE Mission, Program Objectives and Student Outcomes 

The mission of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering is:

·        to educate a diverse student body to be employed in the engineering profession

·        to encourage research and scholarship among our faculty and students

·        to promote service to the engineering profession and society 

 Our program objectives are reflected in the achievements of our recent alumni.  

1 – Engineering Practice: Recent alumni will successfully engage in the practice of civil engineering within industry, government, and private practice, working toward sustainable solutions in a wide array of technical specialties including construction, environmental, geotechnical, structural, transportation, and water resources.  

2 – Professional Growth: Recent alumni will advance their skills through professional growth and development activities such as graduate study in engineering, professional registration, and continuing education; some graduates will transition into other professional fields such as business and law through further education.  

3 – Service: Recent alumni will perform service to society and the engineering profession through membership and participation in professional societies, government, educational institutions, civic organizations, and humanitarian endeavors.  

Our student outcomes are what students are expected to know and be able to do by the time of their graduation:
 
(a) an ability to apply knowledge of math, science, and engineering
(b) an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as interpret data
(c) an ability to design a system, component or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability
(d) an ability to function on multi-disciplinary teams
(e) an ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems
(f) an understanding of ethical and professional responsibility
(g) an ability to communicate effectively
(h) the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context
(i) a recognition of need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning
(j) a knowledge of contemporary issues
(k) an ability to use techniques, skills and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice
