3.00 Credits
This is a capstone course that integrates knowledge and skills developed through other coursework and life experience. The course will focus on special topics in business and a specific business issue/problem. Students will work in cross-functional teams to select a project which involves solving a common business problem. Students will research the topic extensively and prepare a team oral presentation of their solution. Presentations will be judged by business and industry professionals. Students will also prepare written documentation as part of their project. 3 hours of lecture per week. Prerequisite: senior standing.
-
1.00 Credits
This course will focus on the skills required by students for success in the Civil and Environmental Engineering Technology program. The course may have guest speakers and field trips to construction projects and public facilities that will give the student a picture of the variety of work done by civil engineers and the job opportunities in the field. 1 hour of seminar per week.
-
3.00 Credits
The course introduces fundamental surveying principles and methods, including the measuring of distances, angles, difference in elevation, and instruction and practice in the care and use of equipment. Areas covered are bearings, cross sections and profiles, note keeping, computations and field practice relating to traverses, an introduction to geodetic surveying, the basics of construction surveying, and the adjustment of surveying instruments. 2D and 3D coordinate transformation is introduced. 2 hours of lecture, 3 hours laboratory per week. Co-requisite: MAT-1420 or MAT-1111.
-
4.00 Credits
This course studies the materials used in construction, including aggregates, cements, Portland cement concrete, timber, asphalts, bituminous concrete mixes, steel, and masonry. Sources, methods of manufacture and handling, and standard tests are covered. Portland cement concrete and bituminous concrete mixes are designed and tested. Laboratory work includes performance of standard tests and the preparation of technical reports of the tests. 3 hours of lecture, 3 hours of laboratory per week. Prerequisite: None.
-
3.00 Credits
This course provides a solid foundation in CAD for the civil engineer. Course covers topics in AutoCAD and Carlson Surveying & Civil and requires access to AutoCAD and Carlson Surveying & Civil outside of regular class hours. Students should have the ability to move files using Windows Explorer and be familiar with MS Word. 6 hours of lab per week. Prerequisite: Basic computer skills.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is a continuation of CET-1031 intended to provide proficiency in the creation and understanding of working drawings related to civil engineering. Covered AutoCAD topics include advanced AutoCAD entity manipulation, customization, and programming. The student is introduced to a civil/survey software package used for site mapping, terrain modeling, and road and utility design. In addition, related technologies such as Geographic Information Systems (GIS), their application, and data sources are discussed. 1 hour of lecture, 6 hours laboratory per week. Prerequisite: CET-1031.
-
4.00 Credits
A continuation of Surveying I, this course gives additional and more detailed information in route location and design, construction surveying, and advanced surveying topics. Specialized equipment such as theodolites, electronic distance measuring instruments, and state-of-the-art total stations and data collectors are used in the field labs. Least squares adjustments are introduced. Carlson surveying software is an integral portion of the course. 2 hours of lecture, 6 hours of laboratory per week. Prerequisite: CET-1011, CET-1032, and MAT-1420.
-
3.00 Credits
The course includes an introduction to the fundamental concepts of fluids, fluids at rest, measuring devices, pressure diagrams, buoyancy, and steady flow. Calculations with computer applications are made for head losses, open channel flow, hydrology, and runoff. Pump characteristics and water distribution systems are also studied. 2 hours of lecture, 3 hours of laboratory per week. Prerequisite: MAT-1520 and PHY-1041 or PHY- 1022.
-
3.00 Credits
This course emphasizes quantitative analysis of environmental problems and introduces the student to engineering methods for treatment and prevention of water, soil, and air pollution. Fundamental concepts of chemistry, microbiology, ecology, and statistics which are critical to environmental analysis and engineering design are covered. The laboratory includes both field and indoor testing of water quality as well as fieldtrips to environmental facilities. 2 hours of lecture, 3 hours of laboratory per week. Prerequisite: CHE-1031, MAT-1420 PHY-1041 or PHY-1022.
-
4.00 Credits
Statics involves the study of vector forces, resultants, and moments and their effect on beams, columns, frames, and trusses. Strength of materials includes the study of material properties, tension, compression, shear and bending stresses, and the methods of determining centroids and moment of inertia. Laboratory work includes calculation of force and stress analysis, in addition to material testing. 3 hours of lecture, 3 hours of laboratory per week. Prerequisite: MAT-1520 and PHY-1041 or PHY-1022.
