Please see the course description attached. Requirements for the course: * Students should have a research paper with a relatively complete first draft already written by the first day of class. This paper must be intended for eventual publication. * This is a 1.0 credit course that will be graded as Pass/No Pass, therefore cannot be used to meet the requirements for their degree. * It is expected that the student will participate for the full semester.

Courses in Bridge Engineering
by Jennifer R Ricksy 28 Apr '26

28 Apr '26

Dear CCE students As the semester draws to a close, I wanted to remind you of some new courses in the topic of bridge engineering that will count for technical electives. These are part of an effort to add specific courses in bridge engineering. This is effectively the only program of its kind focused on bridge engineering in US. It is strongly supported and endorsed by bridge fabricators, steel mills, state departments of transportation, and consulting firms. There is also support for scholarships and industry internships that are available. If you are thinking about bridge engineering as a career path, these courses are tailored to that end. Stay tuned as we hope to be offering more courses in bridge engineering and bridge construction and fabrication engineering soon! Robert Connor Undergraduate Offerings Fall 2026 - CE 497 Loading and Analysis for Steel Bridges Spring 2027 CE 497 Design and Evaluation of Steel Highway Bridges Both of the above "count" as technical electives like any other course (e.g., CE 470) Graduate Offerings Fall 2026 CE597 Loading and Analysis for Steel Bridges; [2nd offering] CE597 Curved Steel Bridge Design; [NEW] Spring 2027 CE597 Fatigue, Fracture & Retrofit of Steel Bridges; CE597 CE597 Truss Bridges and Gusset Plate Connections; CE 597 (tentative) [cid:18035142-d0da-47f6-953d-8a69c1934b72]
