Provides an in-depth introduction to the various design activities undertaken for Land Development (Site Design) projects. Investigates aspects of site design: parking, grading, drainage, traffic, due diligence, permitting, cost estimating, and financing. Introduces concepts of Project Development process including project management, financing, delivery methods, design development, client relations, and construction administration. Course format will include lectures, guest presenters, and site visits. Grading based upon writing examination, assignments, group project, and professional development activities.

This course gives an overview of green designs and sustainable practices in building construction. We will cover technical topics and requirements of a nationally recognized rating system (LEED), with a specific focus on Green Building Design and Construction. Students are introduced to basic building designs and systems related to sustainability. Additionally, they learn about green design topics such as site plans, water and energy efficiency, material and resources usage, environmental quality and renewable energy source. As an outcome of the course, students are able to assess and incorporate green technologies and designs into building projects.

Theory of analytical and sampling techniques used in environmental engineering. Topics include potentiometry, spectroscopy, chromatography, automated analysis, quality control, sampling design, and collection methods. Methods discussed in lecture are demonstrated in labs. Lab.
