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

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
