This course is an introduction to the tools used in civil engineering. According to the University of Notre Dame's Department of Civil Engineering and Geological Sciences, you will study computer programming, circuits and sensors, and the use of commercial software packages.
This course is an introduction to systems of forces and couples. You will study vector mechanics, the equilibrium of rigid bodies, internal forces and moments, trusses and beams, distributed loads and properties of areas. You will also learn about friction and kinematics, as well as kinetics of particle motion.
This course is an introduction to engineering programming. You will study the fundamentals of basic structures, algorithm development and program debugging.
This course covers physical geology and the geologic processes related to engineering. You will study natural hazards such as earthquakes, volcanoes, floods and more, and learn how they affect different infrastructures.
This course focuses on examining large-scale civil and environmental engineering problems, the technological challenges encountered and the innovative solutions to solve the problems. You will study problems in structural, ocean, hydraulic, groundwater, soils and environmental engineering.
This course covers the fundamentals of numerical methods, and the development of programming techniques in order to solve problems in civil and environmental engineering. You will study linear algebra, interpolation, discrete differentiation, discrete integration and other mathematical topics.
