Course Prerequisites:  CE200 CE 200A rliu/class/ce350/intro/syllabus  2 Attendance Policy:   Each student may be excused to miss a maximum of TWO (2) classes with prior permission / valid reason. Each subsequent class missed will cost the student up to 5% of the overall grade. FIVE (5) or more missed classes will result in an F grade.  Grade Policy:  Homework/Quizzes   30% Midterm Exam   30% Group Project   25% Project Presentation  10% Attendance     5%  The NJIT Honor Code will be upheld, any violations will be brought to the immediate attention of the Dean of Students. Students will be consulted with by the instructor and must agree to any modifications or deviations from the syllabus throughout the course of the semester.  At a major university like NJIT, the faculty have obligations of diverse types. Some of the duties include involvement with ASCE, TRB, and other professional organization. In addition, research activities may require faculty to attend conferences, to present papers, and to participate in other activities. The instructor will make every effort to miss as few classes as possible. In case it can’t be avoided, she will arrange other alternatives to enrich the course and the learning experience.  rliu/class/ce350/intro/syllabus  3 CE 350 Class Schedule, Spring 2021  ID Week of Contents HomeWork 1 1/18 Introduction Chapter 1.

Our Program Educational Objectives are reflected in the achievements of our recent alumni:  1. Engineering Practice: Alumni will successfully engage in the practice of civil engineering within industry, government, and private practice, working toward safe, practical, sustainable solutions in a wide array of technical specialties including construction, environmental, geotechnical, structural, transportation, and water resources.  2. Professional Growth: Alumni will advance their technical and interpersonal skills through professional growth and development activities such a graduate study in engineering, research and development, professional registration and continuing education; some graduates will transition into other professional fields such as business and law through further education.  3. Service: Alumni will perform service to society and the engineering profession through membership and participation in  professional societies, government, educational institutions, civic organizations, charitable giving and other humanitarian endeavors  Our Student Outcomes are what students are expected to know and be able to do by the time of their graduation:  • an ability to identify, formulate and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science and mathematics;  • an ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental and economic factors;  • an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences;  • an ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must rliu/class/ce350/intro/syllabus  6 consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental and societal contexts;  • an ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks and meet objectives;  • an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions;  • an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies   Revised: 2/13/18
