ENGV 355 Civil Engineering Lab II

Course Description

This course is the second of a two-course sequence that presents the civil engineering student to various types of laboratory work that comprise the civil engineering profession. This course will provide students the opportunity to perform laboratory work to assess material properties and strengths of several civil engineering materials (e.g., asphalt, concrete), and conduct laboratory work in hydraulics. Students will perform laboratory work in teams and prepare written reports of their results.

For information regarding prerequisites for this course, please refer to the Academic Course Catalog.

Rationale

No civil engineering project gets built without a comprehensive understanding and testing of the material properties and strengths being used in the project. Students learn best by doing, and they will get their hands dirty while conducting various laboratory tests to determine numerous properties, strengths and properties of several civil engineering materials (e.g., soils, concrete, steel, asphalt, water). An understanding of how these material properties, strengths and behaviors are determined allows the student to design civil engineering projects with confidence and a better appreciation of the variables involved in the design process. The student will work as a team member in conducting the labs and preparing a written report of the results.
