Special Topics: Fundamental Concepts of Computing in Civil and
Environmental Engineering –Teacher
The purpose of this course is to
introduce students to the important concepts of computing related to civil and
environmental engineering. The
course will briefly describe the form and operation of modern computational
devices, the data structures and algorithms that are used in many of the
computations that support CEE software applications, and explore the frontier
of applying advanced computing in civil and environmental engineering.

Special Topics: ICCM International Collaborative Construction Management –Teacher
This
course is intended to provide a comprehensive overview of the life cycle of the
facility development process and of relevant project management techniques.
While primary emphasis is on the construction phase, the techniques and
perspective apply to the other phases of the facility development process as
well. Students learn not only how to develop construction estimates and
schedules, but also, globalization issues, methods to work on multicultural
teams, negotiation techniques, and methods to improve international
collaboration enhanced by the use of Information Technology. Students work in
international teams to collaborate from remote locations (USA, Turkey, Brazil,
and Israel) via the Internet taking maximum advantage of information
technology. Students also report on lessons learned on working with different
cultures.

Data Management –Teacher
This
is a class where the students are introduced to the basics of databases and
database management systems as applied to engineering problems in general and
civil engineering problems in specific and to data mining concepts and
techniques and knowledge discovery in databases principles applied to
engineering problems/data in general and civil engineering problems/data in
specific. Students learn how to extract patterns representing knowledge
implicitly stored in large civil engineering databases or other massive
information repositories. The course lectures emphasizes on issues relating to
the feasibility, usefulness, efficiency and scalability of techniques for the
discovery of patterns hidden in engineering databases.

12-705: Advanced
Techniques for Project Management – Teacher
This
class is intended to provide a sampling of advanced techniques, concepts and
research topics in project management. The course focus is a systems view of
construction and its interactions with related activities. The course is taught as a tutorial, with
presentations by speakers and discussion classes led by students. Students have
to research one or two topics of their choice, and give presentations and do a
final presentation and a report. This format has the objective of enhancing the
participants ability to research, organize, and communicate advanced material.

Systems Project Preparation Course – Teacher
The
intent of this course is (1) to prepare students for the project course 12-745
by exposing them to the following topics: technical communication; team-based
problem solving, negotiation, and collaboration support technologies; individual
and team ethics; library skills; readings/discussions relevant to the domain of
project topic intended for 12-745 and (2) to design, estimate, plan, and
specify the project that will be executed during the project course 12-745.

12-745: AIS
Systems Project Course – Teacher
The
iAdvanced Infrastructure Systems (AIS) program has
been designed to equip civil engineering students with the skill-set required to approach conventional problems from nontraditional
approaches. The focus of the
program is on teaching principles of computer science and information
technology to allow engineers to efficiently acquire appropriate data and analyze
the data to reveal trends and yield knowledge. The AIS Project Course serves as an
appropriate culmination of this pedagogical philosophy. A real-world,
industry driven problem is provided to students and the requirements are
broadly defined. In the first
semester of the academic year, students analyze the problem and determine the
scope of the project. The design
and implementation of the solution is then performed in the second semester of
the academic year. The goal of the
course is to allow students to practically utilize the skills they have
acquired from the instructional courses in the AIS program.

Collaborative Design Processes – Teacher
This
is a capstone design class where students learn methods of collaborative design
in the AEC industry enhanced by the use o information technology. Students work
in multi-disciplinary teams to collaborate from remote locations (UIUC-Urbana
and UF-Gainesville) via the Internet on the design of a facility. Team members
from structural engineering, architecture and construction management generate
designs while experimenting with different work practices to take maximum
advantage of information technology using commercially available software.
Students also develop process designs for the integration of technology into
the work of multi-disciplinary design teams.
