CME538H	Introduction to Data Science for Civil and Mineral Engineers Introduction to Data Science for Civil and Mineral Engineers Data Science is redefining how people and organizations solve challenging problems and has become an essential skill for engineers in the 21st-century. This intermediate-level class bridges between APS106 (Fundamentals of Computer Programming) and CME263 (Probability Theory for Civil and Mineral Engineers) and upper-level machine learning, computer science and statistics courses. In this course, we explore key areas of Data Science including question formulation, data collection and cleaning, visualization, and applied machine learning. All lessons are taught with Python code and a strong emphasis is placed on the development of a solid foundation in programming. This course touches on a range of topics from visualization to machine learning which we believe serves to enhance the learning experience for students by allowing them to gain an appreciation for the close interplay between these topics.	Prof. Sebastian Goodfellow	Fall 2022	Scheduled by the Office of the Faculty Registrar.
CIV1499H	Special Studies in Civil Engineering: Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering Special Studies in Civil Engineering: Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering Special studies courses are offered when a professor is available to instruct on a new or unusual topic. Each topic offered constitutes one normal half-course. Special studies course codes may be taken more than once provided that the topic is different each time. Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering Students will learn about the physical processes that cause earthquakes and how they are used to quantify the effects of earthquakes on built environment. Basic dynamics concepts will be introduced and used to understand how site effects influence the load transferred to structures. Liquefaction will be introduced as a primary source of earthquake-induced damaged to all types of structures and various methods of assessing its potential and consequences will be studied. This course is a necessity for anyone working in geotechnical engineering concerning seismically active parts of the world, and useful to those in earthquake structural engineering area.
