CIVIL-147

Credits:3

Soils and Materials Testing The purpose of this course is to help students gain an understanding of the engineering properties of construction materials and soils. Lab tests are performed on soil, aggregates, concrete and steel. The results of these tests are then used to determine the strengths and weaknesses of each material related to their use in civil engineering. WisDOT Certi fi cation for PCCTec I/IA (Portland Cement Concrete Technician) is also available as part of this course. Prerequisite(s): Complete CIVIL-105. Completion of or currently enrolled in MATH-115. CIVIL-148 Credits:3 Structural Detailing The students will learn how to draw detailing drawings using AutoCAD and Autodesk Revit Structure. Autodesk Revit Structure is a 3D civil engineering design software used for civil design, drafting and documentation, collaboration, and Building Information Modeling (BIM) work fl ows. The students will learn how to draw a structural project and framing system and add structural elements such as concrete foundation, walls, beams in addition to steel beams, columns and connections. Prerequisite(s): Complete CIVIL-106 and CIVIL-141. CIVIL-155 Credits:2 Surveying 1 The principles of surveying are presented and the use of surveying tools and instruments in the application of these principles is covered. Taping, leveling and basic total station operation are included. The methods of measurement and the processing of measurement and data are studied. CIVIL-156 Credits:2 Surveying 2 The principles of surveying are continued, with emphasis on traverse procedures and calculations. The theodolite, EDM, total station GPS and data collector are used for topographic and construction surveys. The uses of COGO are also covered. Prerequisite(s): Complete CIVIL-155. Completion of or currently enrolled in CIVIL-102 and MATH-115. CIVIL-157 Credits:3 Route and Highway Surveying Horizontal and vertical alignment fi eld problems and theory are covered. Geometric design, including circular horizontal curves, vertical curves, sight distance, super elevation, cross sections and earthwork is studied. Also, a roadway plan and pro fi le are prepared. Prerequisite(s): Complete CIVIL-156 and CIVIL-102.

Land Surveying The US Public Land Survey is reviewed. Minimum standards for property surveys are covered. Subdivision regulations and mapping requirements for CSM and subdivision plats are also studied. Also, the principles of control surveys, state plane coordinates, and GPS are reviewed. Prerequisite(s): Complete CIVIL-157. CIVIL-160 Credits:3 Legal Elements of Land Surveying This course covers the techniques of boundary location from the interpretation of written deeds. Principles are drawn from precedents established by the courts. Wisconsin Administrative Code A-E7 and Wisconsin Statutes Chapter 236 are reviewed. Prerequisite(s): Complete CIVIL-156. CIVIL-161 Credits:3 Boundary Location The principles and practice of boundary locations are presented. The public land system is covered in detail. Principles for performing surveys will be discussed. Prerequisite(s): Complete CIVIL-156. CIVIL-170 Credits:3 Sewer and Water Systems The principles of design and construction of water distribution, sanitary sewer and storm sewer systems are studied including the related principles of hydraulics, hydrology, and local standards. Engineering drawings of these facilities are also prepared. Prerequisite(s): Complete CIVIL-102 and CIVIL-135. CIVIL-308 Credits:1 Computer Applications for the Trades This computer applications course is designed to provide students with word processing, spreadsheet, PowerPoint, email and Internet skills. Additionally, the course gives students an opportunity to utilize these skills in a project and presentation. CLABT – Clinical Laboratory Technician (Department 513) CLABT-109 Credits:4 concepts and procedures, including blood typing, compatibility testing, workups for adverse reaction to transfusions, disease states and donor activities.
