printer friendly pageCEE 364F: Advanced Topics in Geophysical Fluid Dynamics (EESS 364F)
A seminar-style class covering the classic papers on the theory of the large-scale ocean circulation. Topics include: wind-driven gyres, mesoscale eddies and geostrophic turbulence, eddy-driven recirculation gyres, homogenization of potential vorticity, the ventilated thermocline, subduction, and the abyssal circulation. Prerequisite:
EESS 363F or
CEE 363F. Recommended:
EESS 246B.
CEE 364Y: Advanced Topics in Coastal Oceanography
The dynamics and transport implications of features in estuaries and coastal oceans characterized by sharp gradients: fronts, interfaces, and layers. Analytic framework to describe the formation, maintenance, and dissipation of such features. Examples include tidal mixing fronts, buoyant plume fronts and tidal intrusions, biological thin layers, and axial convergent fronts. Second unit for students who give a presentation.
CEE 371: Frontiers in Environmental Research
How to evaluate environmental research.
CEE 374C: Introduction to Physiology of Microbes in Biofilms
Diversification of biofilm populations, control of gene expression in biofilm environments, and evolution of novel genetic traits in biofilms.
CEE 374D: Introduction to Physiology of Microbes in Biofilms
Diversification of biofilm populations, control of gene expression in biofilm environments, and evolution of novel genetic traits in biofilms.
CEE 375: Advanced Methods in Pathogen Detection
Molecular and culture-based techniques for pathogen detection in water.
CEE 378: Statistical Analysis of Environmental Data: Tools and Applications
Preference to Environmental Engineering and Science Ph.D. students. Practical data analysis techniques applicable to environmental engineering. The role of statistics in data collection, experimental design, data exploration, and effective communication of results. Use of statistical packages such as Excel, Matlab, and R. Discussions partially based on student interest and available datasets. Topics may include summarizing data, hypothesis testing, nonparametric statistics, regression analysis, classification and regression trees, cluster analysis, and computationally intensive methods. Limited enrollment.
CEE 378D: Seminar of Statistical Analysis of Multidisciplinary Primary Data
Practical management and analysis techniques for primary data collected in multidisciplinary projects. Selection of appropriate statistical tests, interpretation of results, and effective communication of findings to lay audiences. Univariate, bivariate and multivariate techniques, including hypothesis testing, nonparametric statistics, regression analysis and matching. Use of SPSS statistical package. Limited enrollment. Prerequisite: consent of instructor.

CEE 386: Fundamentals and Applications of Wind Engineering
This course provides a basic understanding of how winds interact with the built environment. Knowledge of wind flow and the wind/structure interaction is introduced to understand the risks associated with extreme wind events (e.g., hurricanes, tornadoes, thunderstorm downbursts, etc.) and its application for design, damage mitigation, and risk management. In addition to providing an introduction to catastrophe risk modeling, this course will show how the principles of wind engineering are used to estimate the risk of the built environment subjected to catastrophic wind events. Prerequisites: undergraduate fluid mechanics, structural dynamics (
CEE 283 or equiv), probability
CEE 203.
