Morning Study

The course is concerned with studying and solving mathematical equations as it is an important requirement for various branches of science especially in the field of civil engineering applications. Solutions to some problems are derived using  Engineering analysis and Numerical methods. These solutions were often helpful and provided excellent insight into the behavior of some systems.

A major specialty area within civil engineering, geotechnical engineering focuses on how soil and rock support and affect the performance of structures built on or below the earth’s surface. Also, the soil may be used as construction material. This course will be introducing the student to the basic principles that govern the behavior of soils, the geotechnical properties of soil, and other geotechnical works. The topics to be covered in this course are: 

An understanding of these basic concepts is essential in the design of foundations for structures, retaining walls, tunnels, excavations, earth fills, stability of earth slopes, sanitary landfill, and environmental remediation projects. Specifically, a student completing this course will: 

Understand the basic principles of soil mechanics and geotechnical engineering. 

Learn the relevant terms and soil tests needed to describe and predict the behavior of soil, permitting the student to work effectively with specialists in geotechnical engineering.

Traffic engineers are transportation engineers who specialize in the design and maintenance of safe roads and highways. They determine what kinds of roads are needed to make traffic flow smoothly and then find the most economical ways to build and maintain them.

Many engineers work in the highway or street departments of state or city governments; others work for federal highway agencies or county highway departments. Engineers can also work for private consulting firms, educational institutions, or industries.

Traffic engineers who work for state governments are mainly concerned with interstate highways or primary state roads, which carry heavy traffic over long distances. They do "need studies" to determine how many trucks, buses, and cars can be expected to use new roads and then work with highway engineers and location engineers to figure out the safest, most economical paths for them. Interstate turnpikes require careful planning of overpasses, exits, cloverleaves, and rest areas.

Traffic engineers who work for city governments try to solve parking problems and traffic jams and to choose the best public transit routes. In some large cities, several traffic engineers may have the sole responsibility of timing the traffic lights.
