3.00 Credits
Mankind has achieved much in the industrial world. While most of these achievements have been beneficial, there have been some adverse affects on our environment. Emphasis is focused on two major topics of environmental concern - water resources, and waste. A study of basic water supply, including surface and groundwater, is offered. The study is expanded to investigate the various sources of water pollution, methods used to measure water quality, and methods developed to control the pollution of water. A similar study of waste - including municipal solid waste (garbage), coal mine refuse, hazardous waste and radioactive waste - is conducted. Both major topics are examined closely from the regulatory viewpoint, with emphasis placed on regulatory controls enacted and the responsibilities of industry and individuals to conduct business within the regulatory framework of our government.

3.00 Credits
(CSET-380 of Permission of the Instructor). A continuation of Environmental Analysis I with a focus on environmental concerns pertaining to air pollution and 0oise pollution. A study of air, both outdoor and indoor, is considered and includes a study of meteorology and the composition of "pure air." The study is expanded to investigate the various sources of air pollution, methods used to measure and monitor air quality, and methods developed to control the pollution of air. Emphasis is also placed on the study of indoor air pollution.

3.00 Credits
(CSET-242 or Permission of Instructor). This course will include a study of various land systems and their development. Emphasis will be on those systems of most importance in the United States. Discussion will therefore center on the metes and bounds and public land systems. West Virginia Statute Law and general surveying law will be included. Other topics that will be included are types of descriptions, evidence, types of titles, easements, adverse possession and monumentation.
-
3.00 Credits
(CSET-242, Senior standing or Permission of Instructor). Design and layout of railroads and highways including earthwork computations will be covered in this course. Drainage systems for the systems above and their layout will be discussed. Analytical solutions for railroad and highway design problems will be covered. Grade and curve resistance, acceleration and deceleration, velocity profiles, track geometry will also be topics included.
-
3.00 Credits
Advanced Survey Computations will stress the solution of complex surveying problems by use of microcomputers. A knowledge of the BASIC language combined with a background in surveying will be the entry point for this course and students should be able through this course to combine skills to begin to develop surveying software.
-
3.00 Credits
Classification of rocks for engineering purpose; structural features of massive rocks; interpretation of geologic maps; engineering properties of rocks; geophysical methods of exploration; subsurface exploration for dams; bridge and building foundations, tunnels, and rock slope analysis; principles of applied rock mechanics.
-
3.00 Credits
The study of water with emphasis on its occurrence, distribution, movements, and chemistry. The course addresses the hydrologic cycle-precipitation, runoff (channel flow), infiltration (ground water and well hydraulics), storage, and evaporation. Special emphasis is placed on hydrology data acquisition techniques and analysis; the interrelationships of the components of the hydrologic cycle; and predictive methods as they relate to water resource planning, engineering, and enviromental design.
-
3.00 Credits
Topics to be covered in this course are residential subdivision planning and computation of lots, preparation of street profiles, drainage plans, design of sanitary and storm sewers and plotting of subdivision maps. Also included in this course is the study of city, county and state regulations pertaining to subdivisions.
-
3.00 Credits
Theory of Measurements introduces the fundamentals of probability and statistics as they relate to surveying and engineering measurements. The course should give the student a knowledge of error theory as applied to variations in measured results. The behavior of errors will also be covered and the determination of methods to obtain a correct value will be an integral part of this course.
