4.00 Credits
This course is designed to give the student experience with realistic civil engineering technology problems that require the use of knowledge and skills obtained in previous courses taken at Vermont Tech. Under faculty supervision, students are assigned design projects that could include site development plans, buildings and parking structures, bridges, water supply and treatment facilities, roads and highways. The students develop graphic presentations, preliminary designs, calculations, and working drawings. The final phase of some projects may include estimating and construction scheduling. 2 hours of lecture, 6 hours of laboratory per week. Prerequisite: CET-2012, 2020, 2030, and 2040. Co-requisites: CET-2060, 2110, 2120.

3.00 Credits
A study of construction planning, equipment, and methods is incorporated with the study of construction contracts, specifications, and working drawings. Various types of plans and specifications are used as a basis for determining the construction methods and materials to be used on a project. These plans are also used for preparing cost estimates and CPM schedules. Earned value analysis and project accounting is introduced. Computers are used throughout the course for problem solving, estimating, and record keeping. 2 hours of lecture, 3 hours of laboratory per week. Prerequisite: CET-1011 and CET-1032.
-
3.00 Credits
A study of the basic principles and applications of soil mechanics as used in design and construction is covered. This course introduces a knowledge of soil, its formation, actions, and uses. Included are studies of index properties, soil classification, exploration and sampling, compaction, and soil strength. Problems relating to these items are presented and solved. Laboratory testing is done in conjunction with the classroom studies to give a more complete understanding of the material. Each student is required to prepare an individual technical report of each test performed. 2 hours of lecture, 3 hours laboratory per week. Prerequisite: CET-2040.
-
4.00 Credits
The course is a study of the design of structural systems using wood, reinforced concrete, masonry, and steel. The design of various structural members and systems, such as tension members, beams, columns, connections, walls, and foundations is presented in accordance with relevant design codes. Laboratory work consists of the application of building and design codes to the design of structural systems and generation of detail drawings. 3 hours of lecture, 3 hours laboratory per week. Prerequisite: CET-2040.
-
3.00 Credits
The purpose of this course is to familiarize land surveying students with the importance of locating the original boundary line between two or more tracts of land, the evidence that needs to be collected, and the procedures for this collection. This course is intended for students who have achieved an Associates degree in Civil and Environmental Engineering Technology and wish to pursue a career in the field of land surveying. The course is also intended for people working in the field of land surveying who wish to obtain a license as a Professional Land Surveyor in the State of Vermont. 3 hours of lecture. Permission: Required for all individuals. Prerequisite: None. Co-requisites: CET-2012.
