| Technical Course Requirements: 35 Credit Hours | |
|---|---|
| ETDG 1143 | Introduction to Design/Drafting |
| Students learn basic use and application of AutoCAD as a drafting tool through the creation of geometrical shapes, parts, drawings, and electrical symbols and schematics. Students also gain a basic understanding of the fields of civil, mechanical, and architectural design and drafting. Students must have taken or be enrolled in Intermediate Algebra or higher. Theory/Lab. Pre-requisite or co-requisite: MATH 0163. | |
| ETDG 1192 | Applied AutoCAD |
| Each learner produces geometric figures using basic AutoCAD drawing and editing commands, and progress to advanced AutoCAD features that enhance productivity and accuracy. Drawings are scaled and plotted according to industry standards. All learners use the Windows operating system to manage drawing files, and compare their time on a project with the minimum acceptable time allotted to a practicing technician for completion of the same task. In order to improve life-long learning skills, the learner uses written or on-line resources to independently determine a solution when presented with an unknown concept. Students must have taken or be enrolled in College Algebra. Theory/Lab. Prerequisite: ETDG 1143. Pre-requisite or co-requisite: MATH 1513. | |
| ETDG 2663 | Civil Technology Applications |
| Students learn and apply knowledge in the field of land surveying drafting and civil drafting. Includes the study of converting field notes to drawings, developing plans and profiles for underground utilities, and paving and developing site grading plans. Theory/Lab. Prerequisite: ETDG 1192. | |
| CET 2805 | Internship |
| A cooperative agreement between industry and education allows students to utilize and refine skills previously learned in their educational process. All works is performed in accordance with industry standards and guidelines, and supervised by industry and school representatives. Lab. Prerequisites: recommendation by program instructor and a minimum overall GPA of 2.5. | |
| SURV 1011 | Introduction to Surveying |
| Each learner demonstrates proper procedures of use, and capabilities of several different surveying instruments, including a transit, theodolite, total station, and a builder’s level. Each learner also performs mathematic computations to solve surveying related problems. Theory/Lab. Pre- requisite or co-requisite: MATH 0163. | |
| SURV 2303 | Surveying I |
| An introduction to and application of plane surveying procedures and field problems related to linear and angular measurements, differential leveling and topographic surveys. Students gain competency through a series of practical and real world field applications. Theory/Lab. Prerequisites: MATH 1513 and SURV 1011. | |
| SURV 1223 | Land Law I |
| Each learner determines how the concepts of boundary creation, ownership transfer, and description of real property, easements, and the history of boundaries are applied to the practice of land surveying. Theory. | |
| SURV 2223 | Land Law II |
| Each learner understands the role of the surveyor in the legal system and applies the legal principles of locating conveyances, and boundaries in the field to the practice of surveying. Theory. Prerequisite: SURV 1223. | |
| CET 2323 | Statics |
| Students learn and apply concepts of forces, moments, reactions, free-body diagrams, friction, internal forces and moments of inertia. Theory. Prerequisite: MATH 1613. | |
| CET 2212 | Transportation |
| Students learn and apply design components of modern roadway and other transportation systems. Theory. Prerequisite: MATH 1613 SURV 2303 | |
| ETDG 2674 | Civil Drafting |
| Students develop an understanding of the field of civil drafting, which includes standard procedures, plan and profile sheets, alignments, and other key elements of the civil design field. Students also use a computer aided design program to gather, analyze, compile and manipulate data to create accurate and fully integrated Geographic Information Systems (GIS) mapping projects. Theory/Lab. Prerequisite: ETDG 1192 | |
| CET 2123 | Properties of Soil |
| Students learn and apply properties of soils in related engineering problems. It includes the study of critical properties of soils, soil types/soil structure, soil classification, site investigation, movement of water through soil, stress analysis, shear strength, foundations, site improvement and soil stability in slopes. Theory/Lab. Prerequisite: MATH 1513 | |
