CIVE 481/881 Computational Problem Solving in Civil Engineering

Spring 2026, Joint undergraduate/graduate level

This course introduces how to use numerical methods to solve civil engineering problems. Topics include numerical stability, consistency, convergence; numerical methods for 1st order\higher order Ordinary Differential Equations (ODE)\Partial Different Equations (PDE); systems of ODEs\PDEs; and fundamental machine learning approaches for relevant questions. Examples will cover a wide range of topics not only limited to civil engineering, including solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, chemical transport, transportation networks, electromagnetic, biological systems, earth processes,and even human behavior and finance.

MECH 325 Mechanics of Elastic Bodies

Fall 2025, undergraduate level

This course introduces the mechanics of solid materials within the range of elastic deformation with applications to science and engineering. Topics covered include static equilibrium, free body diagrams, analysis of stresses, strains and deformation in structural elements (axial, torsional and bending), states of stress (shear, bending, torsion), shear and moment diagrams for beams, displacements and deformations, column buckling, Mohr’s Circle, failure theories etc.
