3.00 Credits
Introduces Computer Aided Drafting and Design through the use of Autodesk Land Desktop and Civil Design. Basic AutoCAD commands are studied such as those used in drawing, editing, viewing, and dimensioning. Other topics include paper space, xrefs, attributes, projects, and project point databases. Instruction includes lecture, hands-on exercises and drawing problems. (2 lec, 2 lab)
-
3.00 Credits
Introduces the estimating and bidding processes for construction projects. Topics include cost estimating for residential, commercial, highway and industrial construction projects. Manual, computer assisted and estimating software is utilized to prepare construction cost estimates, bids and project budgets. (3 lec)
-
3.00 Credits
Provides the student with work experience in civil engineering areas such as construction, materials testing, and/or transportation. Following the second semester, students work from mid-May to November 1 in a full-time salaried position with participating civil engineering firms. CET faculty assist and maintain contact with the student and employer during the co-op period. At the end of the co-op period, the employer evaluates the student's professional development based on their work assignment. (An abbreviated third semester of CET courses follows the co-op period, running from November 1 to the end of the fall semester.) Prerequisite: CET 101, CET 110, CET 111, CET 121, CET 202 and CET 214; or permission.
-
3.00 Credits
Studies surveying procedures in construction. Includes volume computations, stakeout, grade, layout site mapping, profile, and cross-sections. (1 lec, 4 lab)
-
4.00 Credits
Considers analytical solutions of force systems. Load, shear, moment and deflection values are solved for in beams, trusses, and frames under static loading. Study of stresses and strains that occur as structural members are subjected to shearing, tensile, compressive and flexural forces. (3 lec, 2 lab)
-
4.00 Credits
Studies the design of wood beams and columns, steel beams, columns and tension members, and reinforced concrete beams. Covers building code requirements for loads including dead, live, snow, wind and earthquake. (3 lec, 2 lab) Prerequisite: CET 211
-
4.00 Credits
Introduces the physical properties of soil important to the construction industry. Includes standard ASTM tests, classification systems, drainage, frost action, slope stability, and shallow foundations. (3 lec, 2 lab)
-
4.00 Credits
Introduces, non-mathematically, the basic principles of chemistry, with an emphasis on relevance to everyday life. Topics will include alternative energy sources such as nuclear chemistry, air and water pollution, consumer products, plastics, and synthetic fibers. Laboratory correlates with lecture material. Designed for non-science majors. (3 lec, 2 lab) Prerequisite: H.S. Algebra I or equivalent, or Co-requisite: LAM009 or MAT 100
-
3.00 Credits
Presents the general principles of inorganic chemistry. Topics include atomic structure and bonding, reactions, problem solving, stoichiometry, gas laws, periodic properties, thermochemistry, acid-base theory, and equilibrium. (3 lec, 0 lab) Prerequisite: High School Algebra II and HS Chemistry or equivalents.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduces organic chemistry and biochemistry. Emphasis is on functional groups and reactions, with the latter part of the semester devoted to applications in biological organisms. (3 lec, 0 lab) Prerequisite: CHE 113 and CHE 115
