New Course Announcement: CIV ENG 190/290

Featured Faculty: Franco Zunino

The Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering is excited to announce a new special topics course for the Fall semester: Materials Science and Characterization of Cement and Concrete (CIV ENG 190/290). Taught by CEE Professor Franco Zunino, this course offers a fresh perspective on the foundational materials used in civil engineering.

This innovative course reimagines and integrates the content of the previous CIV ENG 165 and CIV ENG 240 courses, providing students with a comprehensive understanding of the science, engineering, and characterization of cement and concrete. Starting next semester, it will be officially offered as CIV ENG 190 and CIV ENG 290.
