-
3.00 Credits
This course is designed to equip the student with entry level skills as a quality control technician in Soil and Asphaltic Concrete. Students will design and test asphaltic concrete mixes using industrial procedures and standards. Soil classification, permeability, sampling,and composition are studied and applied in laboratory. Statistical methods are introduced and then applied to practical problems.
-
3.00 Credits
The second course in a two semester sequence emphasizing plane and route surveying theory and techniques. Emphasis will be on instrument adjustment, profiling, cross-sectioning, earthwork calculations, precise angular measurement using theodolites and traversing equipment, realignment of circular curves, compound curves, reverse curves, the spiral, intersection calculations, construction stakeout procedures, an introduction to electronic distance measurement and the continued use of the computer as a computational tool.
-
3.00 Credits
The land surveyor and his/her professional duties, responsibilities and liabilities; systems used to describe real property; transfer of real property and the location of sequence conveyances. Client, business and contractural relationships and the techniques of record research are discussed.
-
3.00 Credits
Course emphasizing the techniques of precise horizontal and vertical control surveying used by government or private surveyors and engineering consultants. Use of directional theodolites, precise levels and total station measurement equipment are stressed. Projects are used to present underlying theory of field work, standards, specifications and adjustment of horizontal and vertical data.
-
3.00 Credits
A study of materials and methods of construction employed in commerical building construction; this course will be used to extend the students graphics skills as well as their knowledge of the building construction process. Approximately equal emphasis will be placed on steel frame, reinforced concrete and timber construction. Throughout the course attention will be given to new methods and materials through readings in trade journals. Courses equivalent to CIVL 1013 and CIVL 1183 will satisfy course pre-requisites.
-
3.00 Credits
This course provides the student with a quantitative understanding of the effects of loads on structural elements in a building. Principles of structural mechanics are covered from forces and stresses, to properties of sections, and finally to shear and bending moments on beams. The designs of basic timber and steel beams and columns are also presented.
-
3.00 Credits
A study of contracts and specifications governing contractors in the building and construction phases of a job. Practice is given in the estimating of segments of commercial buildings and heavy/highway projects.
-
3.00 Credits
A study of resources of money, material, machines and personnel used in the development of construction projects. Topics include the design, bid and build elements of the construction project, construction financing, construction documents, planning and scheduling, and labor relations.
-
3.00 Credits
A basic study of fluid statics and fluid flow emphasizing applications in civil engineering technology. Topics include pressure forces on submerged surfaces, closed conduit incompressible flow, centrifugal pump performance, open channel flow, rainfall and run-off estimates. The laboratory sessions involve the use of equipment to measure pressure and flow.
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to the U.S. Public Land Survey System, the law of simultaneous conveyances, and the subdivision of lands. Computers will be utilized in the laboratory. Governmental regulations and environmental considerations are addressed.
