CIVI 341 Civil Engineering Systems Winter 2022

Instructor: Dr. Farzad Ghodoosi ([email protected])


Lecture Hours/Location: Tuesday and Thursday, 8:45 – 10:00 / On-line

Course Objectives:
The course is intended to provide an introduction to systems engineering which are applicable to design
and operation of civil engineering systems. The course deals with design and planning process, problem
formulation, optimization concepts, linear programming, network planning, project scheduling, decision
analysis, and system simulation. The techniques developed are used to solve typical civil engineering
problems. These techniques are practiced by hand and by using the computer programs.

BCEE 231 previously or concurrently
Textbook (optional):
Civil and Environmental Systems Engineering, 2nd Ed., C. S. Revelle, E. E. Whitlatch, and J. R.
Wright, 2004, Pearson Prentice Hall.
