Course level: Undergraduate Graduate Course type: Mandatory Selective Course category: Basic Orientation

Semester: First Hours per week: 5 Course objectives (capabilities pursued and learning results):

First Year students are familiar with the differential and integral calculus of real functions of one variable, but almost not familiar at all with analytical geometry and linear algebra. For that reason, the course: “Mathematics I” focuses on these later subjects and it can be, thus, described, as an Introduction to the basic principles of Geometry and Linear Algebra and familiarization with techniques in these fields, relevant to civil engineering. In addition, we aim in supporting and developing, critical thinking which is important in attacking problems and issues in the field of science and engineering in particular. In this respect, the study of analytical geometry involves the use of vector calculus in the study of geometrical problems and concepts in two and three dimensions while, linear algebra involves the study of matrices, determinants, linear systems, vector spaces, linear transformations and their diagonalization. These subjects are important for the studies in, technical mechanics, fluid mechanics, multivariable calculus and numerical analysis. The hope is, that as the student faces the fundamental issues and problems of civil engineering during the course of her study she will be able to tackle these issues in depth without any distraction because of lack of mathematical background. In addition to that, we ought to have the students equipped, so that it will be easier for them to face, the mathematical challenges of postgraduate studies if they wish to do so. Prerequisites:

Course level: Undergraduate Graduate Course type: Mandatory Selective

Course category: Basic Orientation Semester: 1o Hours per week: 4

Course objectives (capabilities pursued and learning results):

Students come in touch with technical problems of their speciality, they develop methods for their solution and they cultivate their geometric understanding of the world and their profession.

Students in this course are expected to work with: 1. Central and parallel projections. 2. Figure descriptions onto one or more planes. 3. Axonometry. 4. Technical Applications: Roofs, topographical diagrams, earthings. 5. Projective space, projective transformations and basic projective Theorems.

Descriptive Geometry, is a mathematical branch developed by engineers in order to cope with technical problems of their profession. It allows three dimensional objects to be codified by two dimensional drawings (on a piece of paper, a blackboard or a computer screen), which are easily portable and contain all necessary information to recreate the original object. The mathematical content of this information makes it easy to answer questions concerning geometric properties of the three dimensional objects without ever getting into the trouble of realising them. Descriptive Geometry can justly be called as the Technicians’ geometry. The descriptive drawings comprise the theoretical base for successful technical drawings.

Semester: Hours per week: Course objectives (capabilities pursued and learning results):

Teaching of the course: “Mathematics II”, leads to the completion of the introduction, of students, to fundamentals of Mathematics. An Introduction which started with Analytical Geometry and Linear Algebra and continues with the introduction to Sequences, Series and Power Series and the detailed study of Differential and Integral Calculus of Functions of Several Real Variables. Teaching of Sequences and Power Series results, via the introduction to the fundamental concept of convergence, to the understanding of the concept of “approximation”, so important in engineering science. Multivariable Calculus is a subject of extreme importance since, most of the Quantities used in the mathematical modelling of most branches of Civil Engineering, are repre- sented mathematically, as Multivariable Functions. Thus, for example, the Partial Derivative, the Gradient, the Directional Derivative, the Extrema, the Divergence, the Curl, the Line Integral, and the Double and Triple Integral, are tools without which, the study of Technical(Analytical) Mechanics and Fluid Mechanics, cannot be considered to be complete. The hope is, that as the student faces the fundamental issues and problems of civil engineering during the course of her study she will be able to tackle these issues in depth without any distraction because of lack of mathematical background. In addition to that, we ought to have the students equipped, so that it will be easier for them to face, the mathematical challenges of postgraduate studies if they wish to do so. Prerequisites:

Course level: Undergraduate Graduate Course type: Mandatory Selective

Course category: Basic Orientation Semester: 6ο Hours per week: 4

Course objectives (capabilities pursued and learning results):

The objective is the study of the Direct Stiffness Method for the

analysis of frame structures. For that, the lectures concern the

determination of transformation matrices, and nodal displacements

and nodal forces matrices of elements. In the sequel the stiffness

matrices of different types of elements are formulated in the local

and global coordinate systems. The formulation of nodal loads and

nodal displacements matrices of the structure together with the

formulation of the total stiffness matrix of the structure follows.

Finally the boundary conditions are applied and the nodal

displacements of the structure are calculated. The Static

Condensation Method and the Substructures Method are also

included.

The result is the familiarization of the students with the Direct

Stiffness Method which is used by many structural analysis

programs.

Course category: Basic Orientation Semester: 6o Hours per week: 4

Course objectives (capabilities pursued and learning results):

Soil Mechanics II as a course is based on the fundamental knowledge of the nature of soil and its mechanical behavior, and applies it on solving a series of practical technical problems, such as water seepage through soil, time dependence of consolidation settlements, the design of gravity retaining walls, the estimation of the stability of earth slopes and of the bearing capacity of shallow foundations. The emphasis of the course is not on providing a bulk of design methodologies, but on understanding of mechanisms with the use of “simple” models. The students absorb the principles of the design of geotechnical structures and are ready to apply specific design methodologies in an accurate manner in courses that follow. Prerequisites:

Knowledge of soil mechanics (nature of soil, soil stresses and strains, shear strength under undrained and drained conditions, stresses due to external loads, soil settlements)

Course category: Basic Orientation Semester: 7o Hours per week: 4

Course objectives (capabilities pursued and learning results):

The Soil Mechanics Lab course supplements the knowledge of a Civil Engineering student with a Geotechnical orientation, not so much on issues of design, but on issues of estimating the nature and the parameters of strength and deformability of soils. These issues are the basis of the design of any foundation, retaining system or geotechnical structure. The students acquire expertise on preparing, executing and evaluating the results of laboratory and insitu geotechnical testing, since they execute the tests themselves under the supervision of the instructor.

Prerequisites:

Knowledge of soil mechanics (nature of soil, soil stresses and strains, shear strength under undrained and drained conditions, soil consolidation, flow through soil)

Course objectives (capabilities pursued and learning results): The course treats issues relative to the organization, management and control of the

transport networks, modes and infrastructures with focus on the cargo and freight transport.

The course objective is learning and understanding the basic concepts and knowledge

needed in transport strategy and planning for the application of a system engineering

approach. The role of each transport mode (road, rail, air, sea, inland maritime) is examined

in the framework of an intermodal, integrated and combined transport system. With the

support of paradigms and case studies the scientific methods and the new technologies,

which are necessary for the good organization, coordination and the management of all the

factors (human, vehicle, infrastructure, goods) interfering with the logistics, the supply

chain and the freight distribution, are demonstrated.
