Course Description
CEE 450: Water Distribution and Waste Water Collection System Design(Elective course for a BSCE degree)

Design of water distribution systems, sanitary sewer systems and appurtenances. Lecture 3 hours; 3 credits.
Prerequisite
Prerequisite: CEE 330 (Hydromechanics)
Corequisite: CEE 340 (Hydraulics and Water Resources)
Textbook(s) and/or Other Required Material
COMPUTER APPLICATIONS in HYDRAULIC ENGINEERING, 5th edition, Haestad Methods, Inc., 2002
Handouts will be provided in class from time to time. Other sources will be identified for reference.
Course Objectives
To provide senior undergraduate students in environmental and civil engineering experience in the application of hydraulics and human needs and demands in the design of water distribution systems and wastewater collection systems. Extensive use is made of commercially or otherwise available software packages to facilitate consideration of various options and to enhance computational capabilities. Project management, report writing, and oral presentations are integrated in the design projects.
Topics Covered
  1. Water distribution systems: demands, pipe flow, networks, pumps, appurtenances, pipe materials, modeling of distribution systems, design problem considerations (22.5 hours)
  2. Wastewater collection systems: pipe flow, inflows, appurtenances, installation, pipe materials, modeling of collection systems, design problem considerations (22.5 hours)
Class/Laboratory Schedule
Two 75 minute lecture/laboratory sessions per week (normal semesters).
Two 225 minute lecture/laboratory sessions per week for 6 weeks in summer.
Computer Applications
WaterCAD and SewerCAD
Laboratory projects
None
