Courses:


CE 59700 Image-based Sensing


This graduate course is an introduction to vision-based sensing for management and condition assessment of civil infrastructure systems. Some of the topics covered in this course include basic concepts in digital image processing, pattern recognition, computer vision, convolutional neural networks and deep learning that are applicable for segmentation, clustering, 3D reconstruction of civil infrastructure elements, strain and displacement measurement, defect and change detection, object tracking, and structural health monitoring.



CE 37100 Structural Analysis I


This undergraduate course provides students with the concepts that are used to determine the effects of loads on physical structures and their components. Topics to be covered include: stress resultants (reactions, axial forces, shear forces, and bending moments) for beams and framed structures; deflections of beams and frames by geometric methods (moment-area theorems and applications; conjugate beam analogy); analysis of statically indeterminate beams and frames by classical stiffness methods, slope deflection and moment distribution; influence functions and their applications.



CE 29700 Basic Mechanics I: Statics


This undergraduate course provides students with the necessary tools to analyze and understand the conditions of equilibrium. Topics to be covered include: statics of particles; rigid bodies: equivalent systems of forces and equilibrium; centroids and centers of gravity; static analysis of trusses, frames, and machines; friction; area moments of inertia.



ENGR 379 Vertically Integrated Projects (VIP): Data Analytics for Smart Cities


This course provides an opportunity for undergraduate students to explore and develop data analytics tools using robotics and autonomous sensing for condition assessment of urban systems. Sample projects include using deep learning for damage assessment, developing inexpensive road management system through crowdsourcing, reinforcement learning for robotic exploration, virtual and augmented reality for inspection and training purposes.
