1 List and Description of Courses for approval of Equivalence in lieu of PEO s CEP Civil Engineering Course Descriptions (Revised Proposal) GROUP A 98-CIV -A1 Elementary Structural Analysis: Computation of reactions, shearing forces, normal forces, bending moments, and deformations in determinate structures. Influence lines for moving loads. Moment distribution, slope deflection, and energy methods for indeterminate structures without sidesway. CIV 214H1 Structural Analysis I: This course provides an introduction to the nature of loads and restraints and types of structural elements, and then reviews the analysis of statically determinate structures. Shear and moment diagrams for beams and frames are considered, along with influence lines, cantilever structures, three-pin arches, cables and fatigue. Virtual work principles are viewed and applied to various structural systems. An introduction to the analysis of indeterminate structures is made, and the Portal method is applied to the analysis of building frames under lateral loads. Displacement methods of an analysis including moment distribution are also studied. This course covers most of the material of 98-CIV-A1 and some more. 98-Civ-A4 Geotechnical Materials and Analysis Materials: Origin of soils, soil identification and classification. Compaction. CME321H1 - Geotechnical Engineering I An introduction to elements of geotechnical analysis and design. Shear strength at constant The geotechnical course is even more advanced than Civ- A4 and I recall that the idea is that if one CME321H does not cover 98-Civ-A4 oneto-one but it is an appropriate substitution and has In my assessment the course contains 50-60% of the 06_15_2012AttachmentC Page 1 of 5

2 Permeability, pore water pressure and effective stress. Compressibility and consolidation. Shear strength, stress paths, and critical states. Frost action. Associated laboratory tests. Analysis: Elastic stress distribution, settlements, times of settlements. Introductory analysis of lateral earth pressures, bearing capacity, and slopes. Seepage; well flow and confined 2-D flow problems. GROUP B 98-Civ-B3 Geotechnical Design Characterization of natural deposits, subsurface investigation, and field measurements. Design procedures for settlement and stability of shallow and deep foundation systems in soil and rock. volume; ultimate limit state design of retaining walls, shored excavations, soil slopes, rafts, strip and spread footings, and piles and caissons. Compaction of granular soil; engineered fills for earth dams, roads, and backfills. Consolidation of fine grained soil; construction preloads and ultimate settlement predictions. Permeability, seepage analysis, and internal stability of granular soil; internal hydraulic design of coffer dams and zoned earth dams; construction dewatering. Site investigation and monitoring techniques in support of geotechnical design. Laboratories for unconfined compression, direct shear, compaction, consolidation, and seepage models (detailed course syllabus attached) CIV324H1 - Geotechnical Engineering II Building on CME321H1, more complex aspects of geotechnical analysis and design are considered. Soil identification and classification and laboratory- and field-based soil index tests; correlations of index test results to engineering properties. Coupled passes the U. of T he certainly knows the material well. If a candidate passes this course, I would give credit for 98- Civ-B3 most of the topics. It also has some topics that are in addition to what is in 98-Civ-A4. I suggest that we accept it. material in CME1H1 and I concur with the other two members on their decision. 06_15_2012AttachmentC Page 2 of 5

3 Design of excavations and retaining structures; slopes and embankments. Geoenvironmental design topics covering seepage through dams and landfills and the control of seepage through the use of filters and low permeability layers including the use of geosynthetic liners and filters. shear and volume change, soil deformations; serviceability limit state design of shallow and deep foundations, shored excavations. Soil-structure interaction; tie backs and reinforced earth. Laboratories for soil identification and classification, confined triaxial compression (drained and undrained tests), and reinforced earth model 11-CS-1 Engineering Economics Basic concepts of engineering economics through understanding of the theoretical and conceptual financial project analysis. Types and applications of engineering economic decisions. Capital, cash flow, and the time value of money concepts. Nominal and effective interest rates when considering loans, mortgages, and bonds. The application of present worth analysis, annual equivalent analysis and rate of return analysis in evaluating independent projects, comparing mutually exclusive CME368H1 Engineering Economics and Decision Making The incorporation of economic and non-monetary considerations for making decision about public and private sector engineering systems in urban and other contexts. Topics include rational decision making; cost concepts; time value of money and engineering economics; microeconomic concepts; treatment of risk and uncertainty; and public project evaluation techniques incorporating social and environmental impacts It appears that CME368, Engineering Economics is closer to 11-CS-1. 06_15_2012AttachmentC Page 3 of 5

4 projects, analyzing lease vs. buy alternatives and making decisions. After-tax financial analysis requiring an understanding of capital cost allowance (depreciation) and corporate income tax. Understanding methods of financing and capital budgeting. Break-even, sensitivity and risk analyses. including benefit cost analysis and multi-objective analysis (detailed course syllabus attached) General Comments On the issue related to the lab component, I agree that P.Eng applicants do not need to do the lab part and they can be exempted. These applicants are supposed to have covered all or most of this material and they are only taking this course to show that they know the material and can pass the exam \\Vault3\home3$\kureish1\My Documents\MCI - Licensing International Engineers into the Profession (LIEP)\Curiculum\PEO-FASE Courses-Mapping\U of T Str- Geo vs PEO exams (V1).docx 06_15_2012AttachmentC Page 4 of 5
