CEE 2106 - NONCONVENTIONAL ENGINEERING MATERIALS

Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
This course focuses on materials science topics relevant to the application of nonconventional materials in [civil] engineering structures, infrastructure and products. Increasingly, engineers are looking to [often locally-sourced] nonconventional materials to augment or replace resource-intensive conventional engineered materials, such as steel and concrete. This is especially true in resource-scarce regions of the planet. This course will address a broad range of nonconventional materials falling into three categories: i. advanced reinforced polymer composites (GFRP, CFRP, BFRP, pGFRP) and metals (Al and Ti); ii. traditional and vernacular materials such as earth-based materials and bamboo; iii. historic materials (and the repair and restoration thereof); Course deliverables are partially project driven, allowing students to pursue materials issues of interest to their plan or study or research. This course is open to all Engineering and Architecture students (as a technical elective).
