||
CET 120 | Construction Materials | 3 |
This course is a study of basic materials used in construction, research of building product specifications and code requirements. |
||
CET 127 | Building Construction and Print Reading | 4 |
This course is a study of construction methods and blueprint reading. |
||
CET 135 | Construction Contracts | 2 |
This course covers basic engineering law, and owner, engineer and contractor relationships and responsibilities. It also includes performance requirements, bidding procedures, and format and specification interpretation. |
||
CET 204 | Fundamentals of Surveying | 4 |
This course is the study of surveying theory and practice; care and use of instruments; traversing procedures; and computation of closure. Students are introduced to specific methods and principles of spatial measurements and related techniques used in surveying. The course includes linear measurements, leveling, compass and transit/theodolite, theory of errors, areas, stadia, coordinate geometry, state plane coordinates and standard map projections. Lab work consists of horizontal control including distance and angular measurements, traversing and preparation of a plat, and vertical control including the performance of a level loop. |
||
CET 205 | Surveying II | 4 |
This course includes electro-optical instrumentation techniques and complex computations used in surveying. The course covers land surveying and boundary laws, public land surveys, topographic mapping, horizontal and vertical curves, lot calculations, GPS survey technology and surveying astronomy. Lab work consists of locating objects within a survey boundary, performing a boundary and topographic survey and performing a survey using GPS equipment. |
||
CET 215 | Soil Mechanics Fundamentals | 2 |
This course is a study of soils and their engineering properties, underground investigations, classifications and foundations. |
||
CET 218 | Hydraulics | 3 |
This course is a study of hydrostatics and fluid flow, control and disposal of water, including flow through open and closed channels, weirs and orifices. |
||
CET 230 | Construction Management | 3 |
