An Innovative, Automated, Smart Wildfire Defense System for Homes
CE 557
Wildfires are a severe hazard in residential areas around the globe. An increasing number of buildings are destroyed each year, with expected significant growth in the future. This trend is primarily attributed to climate change and continued urban expansion into forests. Risk mitigation and elimination are essential to preserving human lives and wealth, requiring an integrated approach involving fuel depletion, fire extinction, and engineering practices to enhance protection against wildfires.
Civil Engineering Design I (Fall 2022)/II (Spring 2023)
CE 482/ CE 483
CE 482: Civil Engineering Design I (Fall 2022): This comprehensive design course integrates engineering design and engineering science components of previous and ongoing coursework into a significant design experience. Course activities include defining the problem, formulating project objectives, gathering background information, scheduling the project, applying design standards and realistic constraints, developing design alternatives, and evaluating design alternatives. Other topics covered include project management, effective team-working, professional ethics, and applications of graphical communication. Group design reports and individual oral presentations are required. CE 483: Civil Engineering Design II (Spring 2023): This comprehensive design course integrates engineering design and engineering science components of previous and ongoing coursework into a significant design experience.
Structural Stability
CE 502/ CE 482
Students will work on design, finite element modelling, analysis of thin-walled metallic structures such as liquid-filled storage thanks subjected to severe environmental (seismic, tsunami, tornado) loading. Structural stability issues including interaction of local and overall flexural buckling will be analyzed and buckling mitigation strategies will be developed to enhance strength and ductility of such structural systems.
Steel Design
CE 451/CE 577
Looking to elevate your organization, and bring it to the next level? Bring on students from the University of North Dakota to be your student-consultants, in a project-based experience. Students will work on one main project over the course of the semester, connecting with you as needed with virtual communication tools. Students in this program can work on any steel design problem.
