-
3.00 Credits
This course consists of an introduction to terminologies and properties of construction materials and techniques from foundation, floor, wall and roof systems, as well as thermal and moisture protection and finish work. Sources of manufacturer's material information are discussed. An introduction is made into the various building codes and code organizations as related to new and existing buildings.
-
4.00 Credits
This course covers the basics of statics, load tracing and analysis of determinate structures. Special attention is paid to the application of the laws of statics and strength of materials as they relate to construction materials, techniques and methods. The course covers the analysis of direct and indirect stresses in structural members: stress, strain, bending moment, shear and deflection; and begins the structural design course progression with the design of beams, columns and structural connections.
Prerequisite:
(PHYS 2010 FOR LEVEL UG WITH MIN. GRADE OF D- OR PHYS 2070 FOR LEVEL UG WITH MIN. GRADE OF D- OR PHYS 2130 FOR LEVEL UG WITH MIN. GRADE OF D-) AND (MATH 1330 FOR LEVEL UG WITH MIN. GRADE OF D- OR MATH 1340 FOR LEVEL UG WITH MIN. GRADE OF D-)
-
0.00 - 3.00 Credits
Study of construction and land surveying techniques, including the use of a steel tape, level, transit and total station. Laboratory will stress surveying measurement and layout techniques. Laboratory exercises will also introduce "AUTOCAD" and associated third party software applications to surveying.
Prerequisite:
MATH 1330 FOR LEVEL UG WITH MIN. GRADE OF D- OR MATH 1340 FOR LEVEL UG WITH MIN. GRADE OF D-
-
3.00 Credits
This course provides an introduction to selected building systems, equipment technologies and their capabilities. These systems include, but are not limited to: HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and other mechanical operations as they relate to building construction and building operations. Fundamentals of designing and sizing these systems will also be covered.
Prerequisite:
CET 1100 FOR LEVEL UG WITH MIN. GRADE OF D- AND CET 1150 FOR LEVEL UG WITH MIN. GRADE OF D- AND (MATH 1320 FOR LEVEL UG WITH MIN. GRADE OF D- OR MATH 1330 FOR LEVEL UG WITH MIN. GRADE OF D- OR MATH 1340 FOR LEVEL UG WITH MIN. GRADE OF D- OR MATH 1850 FOR LEVEL UG WITH MIN. GRADE OF D- OR MATH 2450 FOR LEVEL UG WITH MIN. GRADE OF D-)
-
1.00 Credits
Minimum safety requirements are reviewed and discussed in a practical context for immediate application in the construction site. Course material includes review of the OSH Act, recording and reporting requirements, and citation policies.
Prerequisite:
CET 1010 FOR LEVEL UG WITH MIN. GRADE OF D-
-
0.00 - 3.00 Credits
Computer drafting as related to construction engineering projects such as highways, streets, sanitary and storm sewers, and building sites. The computer drafting portion will use Microstation and associated third party support (e.g. Geopak).
Prerequisite:
CET 1100 FOR LEVEL UG WITH MIN. GRADE OF D- AND CET 1210 FOR LEVEL UG WITH MIN. GRADE OF D-
-
0.00 - 3.00 Credits
This course covers the fundamentals, concepts, and strategies used in the process of estimating construction costs. The organization of construction estimates and the bidding process will be discussed while focusing on materials, construction methods and labor strategies and costs. Use of spreadsheet software, as well as dedicated estimating and takeoff software will be explored in the recitation sections of the course.
Prerequisite:
CET 1100 FOR LEVEL UG WITH MIN. GRADE OF D- AND CET 1150 FOR LEVEL UG WITH MIN. GRADE OF D-
-
0.00 - 3.00 Credits
Design of portland and asphalt cement concrete mixes and associated quality control tests of mortar, aggregates, asphalt cements, portland and asphaltic concrete.
Prerequisite:
CET 1150 FOR LEVEL UG WITH MIN. GRADE OF D-
-
0.00 - 3.00 Credits
This course covers the characteristics and behavior of soil as it relates to the design and construction of civil engineering projects. The course will focus on identifying types of soils, the methods by which soils act and react under stress and how they can be manipulated and modified. Standard soils testing procedures will be used to produce a basic knowledge of soil and its pertinent properties.
Prerequisite:
CET 1200 FOR LEVEL UG WITH MIN. GRADE OF D- AND ENGL 1110 FOR LEVEL UG WITH MIN. GRADE OF D- AND (ENGL 1130 FOR LEVEL UG WITH MIN. GRADE OF D- OR ENGL 2950 FOR LEVEL UG WITH MIN. GRADE OF D-)
-
4.00 Credits
This course covers the principles of statics and strength of materials as applied to structural design of steel and timber products, using applicable codes. Applications of both allowable stress, load factored design and unified design methods will be covered for both spanning and axial elements.
Prerequisite:
