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
-
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
-
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.
