CET - 1210 SURVEYING
[3 hours] Study of construction and land surveying techniques, including the use of a steel tape,
level, transit, and total station. Laboratory will stress surveying measurement and layout techniques. Laboratory exercises will also
introduce �AUTOCAD� and associated third party software applications to surveying. Prerequisite: ENGT 1050; MATH 1320 Corequisite:
MATH 1320
CET - 2030 CONSTRUCTION GRAPHICS
[3 hours] Computer drafting as related to construction engineering projects such as
highways, streets, sanitary and storm sewers, and building sites. The computer drafting portion will use Microstation and associated third
party support (eg.Geopak). Prerequisite: ENGT 1050; CET 1100

[3 hours] Design of portland and asphalt cement concrete mixes and associated quality control
tests of mortar, aggregates, asphalt cements, portland and asphaltic concrete. Prerequisite: ENGT 1050
CET - 2210 HYDROLOGY AND HYDRAULICS
[3 hours] Surface and ground-water hydrology/hydraulic concepts as related to
rainfall/runoff and surface and ground-water drainage. Open and closed channel hydraulics will be studied. Prerequisite: ENGT
1050
CET - 2220 SOIL MECHANICS
[3 hours] Theory and application of soil properties as related to foundation design, including
pressure distribution, bearing capacity, compressibility, consolidation, shear and stress analysis. Laboratory will cover quality control
tests. Prerequisite: ENGT 1050; CET 1200
CET - 2250 STRUCTURAL DESIGN
