CE 49S Fire Engineering Design

The aim of this course is to teach principles of all fire engineering design aspects from fire and smoke development to heat transfer, egress and the thermo-mechanical response of structural systems. As part of a civil engineering program, the class will mainly focus on structural fire behavior. Eurocode design procedures will be referenced.

CE 492 Project

Inter-disciplinary project undertaken by a student, either together with a small team of other students or individually, under the supervision of a faculty member. The object is to enable the student to apply as much of his/her education as possible to the solution of a specific realistic problem. Students are required to meet on a regular basis for consultation with, and report orally to their project supervisor. A written midterm progress report and a final report are required of each student together with at least one oral report to his/her classmates.
