UPPER-INTERMEDIATE (CEFR Level B2 - Vantage) LEVEL is in the group of Independent User. At the end of this level, those who are successful will understand the main ideas of complex text on both concrete and abstract topics, including technical discussions in his/her field of specialisation; will interact with a degree of fluency and spontaneity that makes regular interaction with native speakers quite possible without strain for either party; will produce clear, detailed text on a wide range of subjects and explain a viewpoint on a topical issue giving the advantages and disadvantages of various options.

ADVANCED (CEFR Level C1 – Effective Operational) LEVEL is in the group of Proficient User. At the end of this level, those who are successful will understand a wide range of demanding, longer texts, and recognise implicit meaning; will express him/herself fluently and spontaneously without much obvious searching for expressions; will use language flexibly and effectively for social, academic and professional purposes; will produce clear, well-structured, detailed text on complex subjects, showing controlled use of organisational patterns, connectors and cohesive devices.

This course will follow three main paths: Firstly it will introduce philosophy to doctoral students. The meaning of philosophy, its scope, its sub-branches and its different schools will be the subject topic of the first weeks. Then the course will focus on the relation of philosophy with the sources of knowledge and different sciences. Here, Rationalism, Empiricism and Intuitionism will be covered during the following weeks. In the remaining weeks the course will concentrate on philosophy of science and scientific ethics. Logical positivism, paradigm changes, falsificationism, the questions of “what is science”, “what is pseudo-science?”, “what is the relation between theory and reality?” are amongst topics that will be covered. Finally, the course will concentrate on ethical theories and will particularly cover scientific ethics.

ADVANCED PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

The course provides an in-depth analysis and design on high rise buildings with emphasis on fundamental approach. Manual computation will be introduced from the basics throughout the seminar to facilitate the understanding, complemented by computer methods as means of verification and implementation. Some novel techniques such as two-cycle moment distribution, principle of virtual displacement (with short cut), powerful simplified unified approach in concrete section analysis/design, stability index and FC method are highlighted. Participants would surely have eye-opening to the fundamentals of high rise building from the perspectives of consulting engineers. It covers the introduction and general considerations for tall buildings, Structural systems in tall buildings, Wind effects, Structural analysis and design, Seismic design, Earthquake behavior & performance and planning & site organization for tall buildings.

Meteorology for modeling and control of air pollution; the physical and thermodynamic properties of the atmosphere, equations of motion, hydrostatic equation, continuity equation, Geostrophic approximation, geopotential height, thermal wind, baroclinic and barotropic atmosphere, atmospheric stability and inversion. Air pollution concentration models; fixed-box models, diffusion models. Primary particulate control. Control of sulfur oxides and nitrogen oxides.

Various advanced level topics will be covered on environmental engineering, according to the need of students and interest of the instructor.

The main purpose of this course is to introduce the concepts of statistically determinate forces, types of structures and internal loads. This course also introduces engineering students to the basic techniques required for analysing the majority of the structures and elements which most of structures are composed, including beams, frames, arches, trusses and cables. At the end of the course, students will be familiar with the following terms: fundamental concepts of structural analysis, stability and determinacy of structures, analysis of trusses, beams, frames, arches and cables, analytical expressions and diagrams, work and energy principles and their applications in the deformation analysis of structures, influence lines for statically determinate structures.

This course is based on to learn basic behavior of reinforced concrete elements under sevrice loads. This course mainly focus on reinforced concrete beam elements. Also this course basicly regarding to learn design criterias and standards for reinforced concrete beam elements and design calculation methods for structural design project and calculation of resisting mechanical performance of reinforced concrete beams to evaluate existing condition of reinforced concrete elements.

The objective of this course is designed to apply the scientific, engineering, technical and communication skills acquired in the four year university experience to a civil engineering related design topics, to make a design including summary of technical details in a written and oral report.

As technological integration and construction complexity increase, so do construction lead times. To stay competitive companies have sought to shorten the construction times of new infrastructure by managing construction development efforts effectively by using different project management tools. In this course profile of construction sector, Company and site organizations, Types and documents of construction contracts, Construction project planning techniques, Resource management, Control of construction projects, Quality, health and safety and environmental issues in civil engineering and Risk management and responsibilities of civil engineers and ethics will be covered.
