-
3.00 Credits
3 credits, 5 hours (1-4-0) This course introduces the theory and practice of plane surveying and presents the basics associated with measuring angles and distances. Topics include care and use of instruments, taping, differential and profile leveling, transit, stadia, and transit-tape surveys. Upon completion, students will be able to apply the theory and practice of plane surveying to determine boundaries, areas, and volumes of land measurements. CET 112 INTERMEDIATE SURVEYING: 3 credits, 4 hours (2-2-0) Prerequisite: CET 111 or instructor approval This course is a continuation of CET 111 with an emphasis on route surveying. Topics include design and layout of horizontal and vertical curves, super elevation, and site distances. Upon completion, students will be able to design and lay out roadways.
-
3.00 Credits
3 credits, 3 hours (3-0-0) This course introduces the student to the applications and characteristics of materials commonly used in engineering design. Topics include wood, steel, concrete, and asphalt. Upon completion, students will be able to identify and explain the characteristics and uses of the various building materials and complete basic design or inspection of these materials.
-

-
3.00 Credits
3 credits, 5 hours (1-4-0) This course introduces the student to the application of surveying and drafting principles to accurately depict a section of terrain with respect to elevations, distance, and contour lines. Topics include cross sections, contour lines, and stadia. Upon completion, students will be able to complete a topographic survey of a piece of property and draw a contour map of the property.
-
3.00 Credits
3 credits, 3 hours (3-0-0) This course introduces fluid mechanics with primary emphasis on water and sewer. Topics include water at rest, open channel flow, and head losses in piping systems. Upon completion, students will be able to design a sanitary sewer and storm water system.
-
3.00 Credits
3 credits, 3 hours (3-0-0) Prerequisite: CET 101 or instructor approval This course is an overview of the principles of mechanics-statics whereby the external and internal forces acting on a body may be analyzed and their effects ascertained. Topics such as coplanar and non-coplanar systems, parallel and non-parallel, and concurrent and non-concurrent forces will be examined. Upon completion, the student will be able to analyze simple to moderately complex structures and to determine the effects of these forces on the members of various systems.
-
3.00 Credits
3 credits, 6 hours (0-6-0) Prerequisite: CET 111 and CET 112, or instructor approval This course presents some of the more complex principles and practices now used in surveying of high precision civil engineering projects. Topics include Alabama law as applied to modern surveying, minimum technical standards, use of electronic surveying equipment, and Global Positioning Systems (GPS). Upon completion of the course, the student should be able to complete a survey using minimum technical standards to 1:10,000 accuracy.
-
3.00 Credits
3 credits, 3 hours (3-0-0) Prerequisite: CET 215 or instructor approval This course presents a look at the techniques used in the analysis and design of structural elements in systems with a view toward equipping the student to select structural members that are safe and economical. Topics include the study of stress strain curves, material properties and uses, and both bolted and welded connections. Upon completion of this course, the student should be able to design simple to moderately complex structural members.
