The Civil Engineering Department is now offering online courses during Summer Sessions I, II and Summer Long. Students from universities other than Clemson can also take online classes as transient students and transfer the credits to their home institution.
Transient students can download our Getting Started Packet for information on registration and payment information. University's Academic Integrity Statement can be read here.
The following civil engineering courses are tentative for Summer 2019. These should be confirned by March 8th. All courses are administered through CANVAS.
CE 2010 Statics 3 (3) — Forces and force systems and their external effect on bodies, principally the condition of equilibrium. The techniques of vector mathematics are employed, and the rigor of physical analysis is emphasized. Preq: PHYS 1220 with a C or above;
Preq or concurrent enrollment: ENGR 1070 and MATH 2060.
CE 2060 Structural Mechanics 4 (3) — Builds on statics to develop relationships between external loads on structural elements of civil engineering interest and the resulting internal loads and deformations. Students are exposed to the development of stress and deformation formulas and the identification and use of significant mechanical properties of civil engineering materials. Preq: CE 2010 and MATH 2060, each with a C or better; and either ENGR 1090 or ENGR 1410. Coreq: CE 2061.
CE 2080 Dynamics 2 (2) — Study of kinetics and kinematics of particles and rigid bodies, work and energy, impact and momentum. Preq: CE 2010 and ENGR 1090, each with a C or better, and MATH 2060. (Calculus 3)
CE 3010 Structural Analysis 3 (3) — Calculation of design loads and load paths for buildings and other structures. Use of classical analysis techniques to determine support reactions, internal member forces, and structural displacements of statically determinate and indeterminate structural systems. Preq: CE 2060 with a C or better.
CE 3410 Intro to Fluid Mechanics 4 (3) — Introduction to fluid mechanics, including hydrostatics and fluid flow. Includes principles of mass, momentum, and energy conservation. Other topics include conduit flow, pump systems, and open channel flow. Laboratory experiments familiarize students with laboratory techniques and instrumentation. The Effective Technical Communications Laboratory is used to prepare a presentation for a lab assignment. Preq: CE 2080 with a C or better or EM 2020 with a C or better. Coreq: CE 3411
CE 3420 Applied Hydraulics and Hydrology 3 (3) — Study of hydrologic cycle, including precipitation, evapotranspiration, infiltration, and runoff. Includes hydrograph analysis, gradually varied flow in open channel flow, design of stable channels, flood routing, groundwater hydraulics, flood frequency analysis, and hydrologic design. Preq: CE 3410 with a C or better.
CE 4060 Structural Steel 3 (3) — Introduction to the design of structural elements found in steel buildings, in particular the design of steel tension members, beams, columns, beam-columns, and connections. Emphasizes the AISC-LRFD Specifications for steel design, though reference is made to the ASD Specification with comparisons made where appropriate. Preq: CE 3010 with a C or better.
CE 4210/6210 Geotechnical Engineering Design 3 (3) — Study of the relationship of local geology to soil formations, groundwater, planning of site investigation, sampling procedures, determination of design parameters, foundation design, and settlement analysis. Preq for CE 4210: CE 3210. Preq for CE 6210: CE 3210 or consent of instructor.
