Presents fundamental chemical and physical concepts that give rise to the unique optical, electronic and magnetic properties of nanoscale materials. Introduces important synthetic routes for producing nanomaterials, and interparticle forces governing colloidal behavior and self-assembly. Discusses current and potential applications in catalysis, biomedicine, renewable energy, and other fields. CHEN 4836 and 5836 are the same course. Requisites: Restricted to students with 87-180 credits (Senior, Fifth Year Senior).
Subjects arranged in consultation with instructor and undergraduate advisor. May be repeated up to 6 credit hours. Department consent required. Requisites: Restricted to students with 87-180 credits (Senior, Fifth Year Senior) Mechanical Engineering majors only.
Offers an independent, in-depth study, research, or design in a selected area of architectural engineering. Offerings are coordinated with individual faculty. Students should consult the Department of Civil, Environmental, and Architectural Engineering. Numbered AREN 4840 through AREN 4849.
Provides opportunities for independent study at the upper-division undergraduate level. Subject and/or project agreed upon by the student and the instructor to fit the needs of the student. May be repeated up to 6 total credit hours. Requisites: Restricted to College of Engineering majors only.
Involves an independent, in-depth study, research, or design in a selected area of civil or environmental engineering. Offerings are coordinated with individual faculty. Students should consult the Department of Civil, Environmental, and Architectural Engineering. Numbered CVEN 4840 through CVEN 4878.
Educates students about the knowledge and skills required for professional civil engineers. Students learn about the path to a professional license, prepare for the FE exam, analyze a situation involving multiple conflicting ethical interests, identify aspects of sustainability in civil engineering projects, and understand the role of project management, public policy, business and public administration, and leadership in civil engineering. Requisites: Restricted to students with 87-180 credits (Seniors) Civil (CVEN), Environmental (EVEN), or Architectural Engineering (AREN) majors only.
Provides a simulated real world design and construction planning experience where teams integrate across multiple civil engineering sub-disciplines to create a solution that satisfies multiple constraints, including design, client requirements, budget, schedule, technical, regulatory, and societal. Final deliverables include: detailed design drawings, specifications, cost estimate, project schedule, construction plan, oral and written presentation. Requisites: Restricted to students with 87-180 credits (Senior) Civil (CVEN) or General (GEEN) engineering majors only.
Provides opportunities for independent study at the upper-division undergraduate level. Students work on research or a creative project guided by faculty. May be repeated up to 9 total credit hours. Department consent required. Requisites: Requires prerequisite courses of ATLS 3010 and 3020 (all minimum grade D-).
Provides opportunities for independent study at the upper-division undergraduate level. Students work on a small research problem or tutor lower-division computer science students. Requisites: Requires prerequisite course of CSCI 1300 or CSCI 1310 or CSCI 1320 (all minimum grade D-).
Gives students the opportunity to pursue studies in engineering-related work experience projects abroad that allow them to explore the relationship between theory and practice in their major. Internships generally require 40 hours on the job per credit hour and evidence of significant learning (e.g., paper, final project, and employer evaluations). This course does not count toward degree requirements. Pass/Fail only. May be repeated up to 6 total credit hours.
Provides an opportunity for senior computer science majors to conduct exploratory research in computer science. Department enforced restriction, successful completion of a minimum of 36 credit hours of Computer Science coursework and WRTG 3030. May be repeated up to 8 total credit hours. Requisites: Restricted to students with 87-180 credits (Senior, Fifth Year Senior).
Provides faculty-supervised independent research in environmental engineering for students planning to complete a senior thesis. To be taken prior to EVEN 4990, during the final year before graduation. Department consent required. Requisites: Restricted to students with 87-180 credits (Senior, Fifth Year Senior) Environmental Engineering (EVEN) majors only.
