Contains all the third year CE subjects offered during the first semester

CEng 133 - Building Systems Design

Building construction is examined from the standpoints of life safety; architectural and building service systems; materials, sustainability, and life-cycle analysis; accessibility; technical documentation and outline specifications; building enclosure systems; and interior finish systems. The discussion will focus on developing knowledge of building systems and will foster the skills required to adopt a building system approach compliant to the National Building Code and its referral codes. The students’ developed knowledge of building systems will also include understanding of different types and applications of building materials and diverse construction techniques. Sustainability principles’ impact on the property lifecycle, and how these will integrate and apply to skills and knowledge to industry-based case studies will also be examined. Tools and techniques to create a computer-generated building model, and applied tools for working with computer model exploring output and simulation will also be introduced. Students will develop techniques looking at both realistic and schematic representation, and the integration of building systems modeling as a tool to inform and enhance the design process.

ESci 118 - Numerical Solutions to Engineering Problems

The course provides background on numerical analysis needed to solve civil engineering problems numerically when their analytical solution is either not available or difficult to obtain. C++ programming environment or its equivalent will be introduced and used in the course.

CEng 137 - Hydraulics

The course emphasizes the continuity equation, energy equation, and momentum equation. Familiarization of the properties of common liquids in the study of hydraulics. Application of fundamental principles to solve problems involving liquid pressure and corresponding forces resulting from this pressure. Applications of appropriate equations in performing calculations involving flow velocity, flow rate, and forces exerted by moving liquids in closed conduits and open channels. Familiarization and applications of flow measuring devices such as orifice, weirs, pitot tube.

CEng 135 - Structural Theory

A professional course common to all civil engineering students designed to provide fundamental concepts, principles, and theories in the theory of structures and structural analysis for internal actions in a structure and its deformations under load.

CEng 132n - Principles of Highway and Railroad Engineering

This course deals with the development of highways in the Philippines, highway design, and the materials that are used in road construction and maintenance. The course includes highway administration; traffic, driver, pedestrian and vehicle characteristics; geometric design, roadside design, highway and related structures; intersection, interchanges, terminals; drainage structures; traffic engineering; asphalt and concrete pavements, survey, plans, estimates, contracts and supervision, earthworks, bases and sub-bases, highway maintenance and rehabilitation. The standard specification for Public Works and Highways will also be discussed and be given emphasis in the discussion.

CEng 139 - Construction Materials and Testing

The course deals with the properties of cement, aggregates, steel bars, asphalt, and other miscellaneous construction materials; Standards procedures of sampling, testing and quality control of materials; Design mixes for concrete and bituminous mixtures.
