4.00 Credits
An introduction to engineering graphics as a means of communication in the fi elds of manufacturing and mechanical design. The course is laboratory oriented and provides the student with basic skills in print reading, spatial visualization, instrument drafting, freehand sketching, and computer-aided drafting. Prior knowledge of engineering drawing or CAD is not required. Class 2, Lab 4, Credit 4
-
4.00 Credits
The objective of this course is to develop an understanding of plans and drawings in civil engineering projects as well as in related disciplines: architecture, mechanical and electrical engineering, and landscape architecture. This understanding is implemented by requiring certain drafting exercises relating to these drawings, incorporating pertinent lectures, making fi eld visits to civil engineering works in order to make the connection between plans and actual structures, and requiring exercises in the use and interpretation of plans. Civil engineering works include site development, structures, hydraulic structures, water and wastewater transport and treatment facilities, and transportation facilities. Students develop an understanding of the technical and legal purpose of plans and how to assemble them. Class 2, Lab 4, Credit 4
-
1.00 Credits
This course provides students with a solid foundation in the use of basic computer software programs that have common applications in future courses and in the workplace. The programs include word processing, spreadsheets, and public presentation software. The class structure includes instruction of new skills and practicing these procedures with laboratory problems. Class 1, Credit 2, Lab 2
-
2.00 Credits
Civil Engineers will learn to use AutoDesk Land Desk Development (including Civil Design and Survey Modules) software to create a Mortgage Survey Map from fi eld notes, to create a Topographic Base Map from fi eld notes, and to design a Site Plan which will include a building layout, roadway alignment, profi les, cross sections, grading, storm sewers, earthwork, and pond design. (0608-211, 0608-220) Credit 2
-
2.00 Credits
An introduction to structural loading and load combinations. Calculation of structural loads on buildings in accordance with the New York State 2002 Code (NYS 2002), the International Building Code (IBC) 2000 Code, and the ASCE 7-02 Code. Structural loads to be studied include dead loads, live loads, snow loads, wind loads and seismic or earthquake loads. Selection of structural systems for resisting lateral loads in building structures. (0610-302, 0610-303) Credit 2
-
2.00 Credits
Introduction to commercially available structural analysis and design software that is widely used in structural engineering practice. The software is used in the analysis of 2-D and 3-D trusses and frames, beams, slabs and walls. (0610-302, 0610-303, 0608-380)) Credit 2
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to surveying. Topics include note keeping, leveling, vertical and horizontal measurement, traverses, and topographic mapping. Students apply lecture lessons to assignments in the fi eld using modern surveying equipment.(1016-204) Class 3, Credit 4, Lab 2
-
3.00 Credits
A study of Portland cement concrete and asphalt cement concrete. Aggregates, Portland cement, and asphalt cement, (each an ingredient in the concretes) are studied extensively. Mass-volume relationships are explored. Laboratory work focuses on testing aggregates, designing Portland cement concrete mixes, and testing Portland cement concrete cylinders using ASTM standards. Students also test mortar (ASTM standard) and asphalt concrete (NYSDOT standards) in the laboratory. Class 3, Credit 4,Lab 2
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to the fundamentals of route surveying and earthwork. Topics include simple horizontal curves, reverse curves, compound curves, transitional spiral curves, and vertical curves. Techniques for estimating earthwork volume quantities are covered, along with development of drawing profi les and cross sections. Mass-haul diagrams are explored. Laboratory exercises include designing and laying out various types of curves in the fi eld. (0608-320/Plane Surveying) Class 3, Credit 4, Lab 2
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to soil mechanics and its application to problems encountered in civil engineering. Major topics include soil classifi cation, strength and compressibility analysis, effect of water on soil characteristics, and modern and traditional soil improvement techniques. Laboratory tests commonly used to evaluate engineering properties of soils are performed. (0610-302, 303 or equivalent) Class 3, Credit 4, Lab 2
