  • 1.00 Credits

    This course examines the fundamental properties of geo-materials through hands-on experimentation, exploring how composition and structure impact the properties of these materials. Students will design and carry out experiments, analyze and interpret data, and apply engineering judgment to draw conclusions about the characteristics and uses of geo-materials used in civil engineering applications.

    This laboratory-based course is an introduction to tools and methods used to monitor and evaluate environmental systems with particular emphasis on aqueous systems. In laboratory and field-based experiments students will learn how to perform several 'wet-chemical' and instrumental techniques, learn fundamental hydraulic and water resources principles. All students will gain skills in experimental design, data analysis, data presentation, and report writing.
