3 cl hrs, 3 cr This is a continuing course for students who have acquired basic knowledge in Intermediate Chinese I (CHN 201). Designed to improve students' ability in listening, speaking, reading (traditional characters), and writing, this course focuses on achieving a higher level of proficiency in Mandarin with a particular emphasis on oral exercise and writing practice. Various cultural aspects including history, social customs, and the arts will be incorporated into the class. Prerequisites or co-requisite: CHN 201 or foreign language placement test
-
2.00 Credits
2 cl hrs, 2 cr This course provides an introduction to the basic theory necessary for structural analysis and design. It emphasizes the use of standard charts and tables in conjunction with a calculator, for the solution of elementary statics and strength of materials problems. The concepts of force, stress, strain and equilibrium are explored in depth. Student projects include the use of desktop computer programs. Pre- or corequisite: MAT 1175/MA 175

2.00 Credits
1 cl hr, 2 lab hrs, 2 cr This course will introduce the student to the basic drafting techniques that are required in the construction field. Students will learn the proper use of drafting equipment. Through actual drawings and projects, the student will develop an understanding of architectural working drawings relating to wood frame residential buildings and commercial buildings and their use in construction projects. Topics will include drafting techniques and equipment, lettering, line work, geometric constructions, site plans, foundation drawings, floor plans, electrical, plumbing and heating/air conditioning plans. Prerequisite: None
-
3.00 Credits
2 cl hr, 3 lab hrs, 3 cr This course introduces the student to wood and masonry construction and the study of modern building techniques. The student applies the theory through the construction of a scaled detailed project of a residential dwelling. In addition, the student will be introduced to the basic principles of construction management. Prerequisite: None
-
3.00 Credits
1 cl hr, 4 lab hrs, 3 cr This course enables students to perform actual surveying work using traditional surveying equipment. Fundamental theory of plane surveying, surveying procedures, including measurements of distances, elevations and direction are studied. Principles and use of field equipment, including tapes, levels, transits, theodolites and electronic distance meters (EDM), field and office work, including traverses, topographic surveys and mapping, construction surveys, earthwork computations, stadia, note-keeping and office calculations. Computer applications for traverse computations will be covered. Pre- or corequisites: MAT 1275/MA 275, CMCE 1110/CT 110
-
3.00 Credits
3 cl hr, 3 cr This course is a continuation of CT 104 and provides additional theory necessary for structural analysis and design. Engineering concepts for shear and bending moment diagrams, section properties, beam analysis and truss analysis are explored in depth. Student projects include the use of a desktop computer for the solution of beam analysis, section properties and trusses. Prerequisite: CMCE 1104/CT 104
-
3.00 Credits
3 cl hrs, 3 cr This course introduces the student to the basic practice of construction management in the erection and construction of a building project. The course is designed to give the student a thorough understanding of the construction process and the elements that comprise this process leading to a successful completion. Topics covered will include the discussion of the design and construction process, types of contracts, responsibilities of participating parties, zoning and building codes, specifications and drawings, construction bidding and award of contracts, law and labor relations, ethics, risk allocation and liability sharing. Prerequisites: CMCE 1110/CT 110, CMCE 1114/CT 114, certification in reading and writing
-
2.00 Credits
1 cl hr, 2 lab hrs, 2 cr This course provides the student with an understanding of the fundamentals of the three major categories of any building construction project namely the foundation, substructure and superstructure. Current methods and materials of construction are emphasized. Topics will include castin- place and precast concrete frame construction, masonry stone construction, steel frame construction, glass and glazing and curtain wall construction systems. Prerequisites: CMCE 1110/CT 110, CMCE 1114/CT 114, certification in reading and writing
-
3.00 Credits
1 cl hr, 4 lab hrs, 3 cr Theory and practice of route surveying, including horizontal curves, vertical curves, spirals, earthwork, profiles and mapping are covered in this course. Advanced surveying projects in field and office, including computer applications are covered. Prerequisite: CMCE 1152/CV 152
-
3.00 Credits
2 cl hrs, 2 lab hrs, 3 cr This course provides a working knowledge of computers and their application in the fields of Construction and Civil Engineering. Topics include microcomputer systems and attendant hardware, computer terminology, disk operating system, (DOS and Windows), word processing programs such as Word, spreadsheets such as Excel and presentation software such as Powerpoint. Visual basic is also introduced in this course. The student will learn how to use these tools to manage construction projects, prepare estimates, work proposals and to present oral presentations. Each topic assignment is based on a specific construction management or civil engineering topic. Pre- or corequisites: MAT 1275/MA 275, CMCE 1104/CT 104, certification in reading and writing
