2.00 Credits
1 cl hr, 2 lab hrs, 2 cr This course will explore the mechanical properties of steel, timber and concrete through laboratory testing. Standard tension, compression, shear, torsion, ductility and bending tests are performed in accordance with ASTM standards. Principles of field inspection of fresh concrete are covered as well. Students are given the opportunity to earn certification by the American Concrete Institute as "Field Inspectors, Level 1, of Fresh Concrete." Pre- or corequisites: CMCE 2315/CT 315, certification in reading and writing
-
3.00 Credits
3 cl hrs, 3 cr This course provides a working knowledge of the basic concepts encountered in the analysis and design of structural steel elements. The American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) specifications for the design, fabrication and erection of structural steel for buildings are studied, particularly as they apply to the design of beams, columns and connections. Analysis methods and procedures are developed for solving practical problems encountered in civil engineering. Students will learn to use the charts, tables, design aids and specifications available for simple structural design, which are contained in the "AISC Steel Handbook." Studentprojects include the use of desktop computers. Prerequisite: CMCE 1204/CT 204; Note: Students should not register for both CMCE 2315/CT315 and CMCE 2415/CT 415 simultaneously without departmental approval.

3.00 Credits
3 cl hrs, 3 cr This course introduces the student to site organization and management techniques that are required in construction project management. Students will gain a thorough understanding of all aspects of field supervision and contract administration. Topics will include field office setup, record keeping, reports, meeting minutes, change orders, measurement and payment, quality control, claims and disputes. Prerequisites: CMCE 1110/CT 110, CMCE 1220/CT 220, CMCE 1224/CT 224
-
3.00 Credits
3 cl hrs, 3 cr (fall only) Fundamentals of hydraulics for civil engineering technicians, including properties of fluids, fluid statics, manometers, forces on submerged plane and curved surfaces, buoyancy, principles of fluid flow, flow measurements, nozzles, Venturi meters, head losses. Hydraulic problems will be solved using a desktop computer, including commercial and non-commercial software as well as standard nomographs . Pre- or corequisites: CMCE 1204/CT204, MAT 1375/MA 375, PHYS 1433/SC 433
-
3.00 Credits
2 cl hrs 3 lab hrs, 3 cr This course combines soil theory, field practice and lab procedures. The student will learn the origin and nature of soils, soil classifications, sampling, soil properties, strength characteristics, soil water relationships, settlement and consolidation concepts, lateral earth pressure and subsurface stresses. Methods and procedures are developed for solving practical soil mechanics type problems encountered in civil engineering projects. Laboratory tests, related calculations and computer applications are all incorporated into this course. Pre- or corequisites: CMCE 1204/CT 204, MAT 1375/MA 375, PHYS 1433/SC 433
-
2.00 Credits
1 cl hr, 3 lab hrs, 2 cr This course prepares the student to estimate the cost of various types of construction. A detailed material takeoff is made from typical construction documents. Pricing, including the cost of labor, material, equipment, subcontracts, overhead, contingencies and profit is discussed. Annually updated costs from Means' "Building Construction Cost Data"are used in preparing the cost estimate. Commercial computer software is used in this class. Prerequisites: CMCE 1220/CT 220, CMCE 1224/CT 224
-
3.00 Credits
3 cl hrs, 3 cr This course provides a working knowledge of the basic concepts encountered in the analysis and design of reinforced concrete elements. The Building Code Requirements for Reinforced Concrete (ACI latest edition) is studied as it applies to the design and analysis of concrete beams, slabs, columns and footings for buildings. Analysis methods and procedures are developed for solving practical problems encountered in civil engineering. Students will learn to use tables and select design aids for simple structural designs. Basic detailing and inspection criteria are also introduced. Student projects include the use of desktop computers. Prerequisite: CMCE 1204/CT 204; Note: Students should not register for both CMCE 2315/CT 315 and CMCE 2415/CT 415 simultaneously without departmental approval.

2.00 Credits
2 cl hrs, 2 cr (spring only) Analysis of plumbing, heating, ventilating, air conditioning and electrical equipment appropriate for residential and commercial-industrial buildings are explored. Modern methods and current equipment are emphasized. Pre or corequisite: CMCE 1224/CT224, PHYS 1433/SC 433
-
2.00 Credits
1 cl hr, 2 lab hrs, 2 cr This course teaches current practices in preparing project schedules, including bar charts and Critical Path Method (CPM). Emphasis will be placed on using industry standard computer scheduling software. Pre or corequisite: CMCE 1255/CV255, CMCE 2320/CT 320
-
2.00 Credits
1 cl hr, 3 lab hrs, 2 cr This course provides the students with a working knowledge of Computer- Aided Drafting. Through the use of structural drawings for steel, wood and concrete, students build on their basic knowledge of both civil engineering and construction drawing principles and standards. Methods and procedures are developed for solving practical drafting problems encountered in construction projects using Computer- Aided Drafting methods. Students will learn the sequence of commands and/or steps required to start, create, save and plot CAD drawings. Improved skills are also developed in the reading and interpretation of typical working drawings from civil engineering and construction projects Prerequisites: CMCE 1110/CT 110, CMCE 1152/CV 152; pre- or corequisite: CMCE 1224/CT 224 or CMCE 2455/CV 455
