WEB PAGEhttp://ceae.colorado.edu/~silverst/cven1317/ EMAIL LISTIf you are enrolled in the course you will be automatically subscribed to the course e-mail list using the address for your CU Plus account. OVERVIEWThe primary goal of CVEN 1317 is for you to learn about the civil engineering profession:
Civil engineers do some of the most interesting engineering there is, and the practice of civil engineering requires broad yet comprehensive background in sciences, math, and engineering technology. More than other engineers, civil engineers work with a variety of other professionals, including planners, contractors, health and safety professionals, lawyers, economists, politicians, and representatives of citizens' groups. We work for public agencies, corporations, consulting engineering firms, and the construction industry. Sometimes civil engineering results in new multi-billion dollar facilities and sometimes the result is nothing built at all, or even removal of an existing facility. OBJECTIVES
COURSE ACTIVITIES Your work in CVEN 1317 will consist of six assignments with work both in and outside of class.
* Team assignment
TIME MANAGEMENT No doubt you will be very busy this semester. Time management is one of the most important factors for professional success in engineering, and the same principle applies to your academic career. More than anything, planning is the key to good time management. You should plan to spend 1 - 3 hours/week outside class on preparation and assignments. Look ahead to the next class and review any suggested reading. Plan to review and edit your work on assignments requiring written or oral presentation. The sooner you start on an assignment, the better. It is easy to forget details and information over a week. SCHEDULE: LECTURE TOPICS AND
