Hsin-Neng Hsieh

Professor of Civil & Environmental Engineering

Teaching

Dr. Hsieh has taught the following courses at NJIT.

Mech 235 - Statics ( 3-0-3)
Prerequisites: Phys 111, Math 112.Provides an understanding of equilibrium of particles and rigid bodies subject to concentrated and distributed forces.

Mech 236 - Dynamics (2-0-2)
Prerequisites: Mech 235 (or Mech 234 for IE, ME majors). Provides an understanding of the mathematics of the motion of particles and rigid bodies, and of the relation of forces and motion of particles.

CE 320 - Fluid Mechanics (4-0-4)
Prerequisites: Mech 235. Co-requisite: Mech 236. This course is designed to present the fundamental laws relating to the static and dynamic behavior of fluids. The emphasis is placed on applications dealing with the flow of water and other incompressible fluids. These include flow in pipe systems and natural channels.

CE 461 - Professional Practice in CEE (3-0-3)
Develop an understanding of the process to become a licensed professional engineer and familiarize the students with the professional practice of engineering including codes of ethics and professional business practices and to provide an adequate background for the Fundamentals of Engineering.  Dr. Hsieh is responsible for Mathematics and Chemistry Review.

EnE 660 - Introduction to Solid and Hazardous Waste Problems (3 credits)
Prerequisite: EnE 663. (May be taken concurrently.) Introduction to solid waste disposal. Industrial and urban sources of solid waste and conventional methods of waste disposal. Application of engineering principles related to these topics.

EnE 662 - Site Remediation (3 credits)
Prerequisite: EM 631. (Can be taken concurrently). Examines site remediation from start to finish. Includes regulations, cleanup standards, remedial investigations, feasibility studies, risk assessment, and safety. Examines established and innovative cleanup technologies such as incineration, containment, bioremediation, vapor extraction and ground water recovery.

EnE 665 - Biological Treatment (3 credits)
Prerequisites: EnE 663, EnE 661. (May be taken concurrently.) Principles of evaluation and control of water pollution that describe aerobic treatment processes: oxidation ponds, trickling filters, and activated sludge. Anaerobic digestion and sludge handling and disposal as well as biodegradability study techniques for various wastes.

EnE 669 - Water and Wastewater Analysis (3 credits)
Prerequisite: EnE 663. (May be taken concurrently.) Measurement of parameters of interest in water and wastewater quality studies is performed in the laboratory. Specific project requiring analysis, interpretation, and recommendations will be a major part of the work.

EnE 670 - Advanced Processes in Water Pollution Control (3 credits)
Prerequisite: EnE 669. Detailed laboratory experiments using unit operations of sedimentation, coagulation and flocculation; chlorination, filtration, aeration, sludge treatment and digestion. Aspects of pilot plant design and layout are considered. Design parameters discussed in prerequisite courses are developed by advanced bench-scale laboratory procedures. Advanced design and synthesis are considered.

EnE 672 - Stormwater Management (3 credits)
Prerequisites: CE 320 & CE 321.   Provides a comprehensive study of stormwater management with emphasis on design practices. Topics include regulatory framework, an overview of structural and non-structural BMPs, groundwater recharge analysis, estimate of runoff, and design of detention basin and drainage systems.
