A. Catalog Course Description 

1. Course Nomenclature and Number : CE  21 
2. Descriptive Title : Transportation Engineering I 
3. Course Description : Highway organization,  planning and geometric design, highway traffic survey and control 
4. Pre-requisite  : CE 12 -Surveying II   
5. Semester Offered  : First 
6. Credit Units  : 3  
7. No. of Hours per Week : 5 (2 class, 3 comp.) 

B. Rationale: 

The increasing need to make the best use of existing highway networks has led to the widespread application of traffic engineering techniques in most urban areas of the developed world.  Due to the growing complexity of highway traffic management to accomodate and regulate increasing vehicular flow, a study of highway traffic engineering must be included in the undergraduate civil engineering and specialized higher degree courses to enhance the students abilities in planning, designing and constructing effective and cost efficient road systems and highway traffic elements. 

C. Objectives: 

At the end of the course, the student should be able to: 

a) explain the principles of highway engineering 
 and traffic control; and 
b) design highways and traffic elements 
 

CE 31 COURSE ANALYSIS  

A. Catalog Course Description 
. 
1. Course Nomenclature and Number: CE 31 
2. Descriptive Title  : Structural Engineering I 
3. Course Description : Survey of structural systems; analysis of loads and influence lines; design of roof and bridge  trusses 
4. Pre-requisite  : ES 13 - Strength of Materials 
5. Semester Offered  : First 
6. Credit Units  : 3 
7. No. of Hours per Week : 5 (2 class, 3 lab.) 

B. Rationale: 

Structural Engineering 1 is a basic treatment of the analysis of structural behaviour and its applications to structural design.  It will train the civil engineering student in developing his capacity for logical analysis and to cultivate his appreciation, feed and intuition for structural systems.  By studying design,  the student develops his judgement, perception, imagination and his creativity to design effective structural member components of roof and bridge trusses. 

C. Objectives: 

At the end of the course, the student should be able to: 

a) analyze mathematically, the reaction behaviour of a structure for specified loading conditions; 
b) differentiate between statically determinate and indeterminate structures; 
c) explain the theory of influence lines; 
d) analyze and solve problems involving roof and bridge trusses.
