    4 Credit Hours
    Survey I- Fundamentals is an introduction to the science of surveying, involving measurements and the computations of measurements. Error determinations, angles and bearings, traverse adjustments and area computations will be calculated. This course will focus on the hands-on use of the various fundamental surveying instruments (chains, levels, total stations, data collectors etc.), along with their adjustments and accuracy’s through field exercises.

  • CET 120 - Survey II- Topo

    4 Credit Hours


    Survey II is a surveying course in traversing and topography. Traverse analysis will be computed on spreadsheets, computed by software, drawn and annotated in CAD. Mapchecks will be performed along with computer generated adjustment files. Topographic maps will be drawn in CAD with topographic data, contouring, alignments and profiles. CAD drawings will be produced using “data controllers” for collecting the data using “feature codes”, “figures and lines” and “description keys” to aid the drawing. Robotic Total Stations, Data Controllers/Collectors and Digital Levels will be introduced to the science of surveying. Students will capstone the course by mapping a portion of the campus using Civil-3D software. Students will produce a “.fbk” file of figures and lines, use digital levels on control points and traverse as described above.

    Prerequisites: CET 110 , CAD 120  
    Corequisites: CET 123

  • CET 130 - Civil Internship

    2 Credit Hours
    Designed to provide students with practical, on-the-job experience. It is normally taken during the summer semester because this is the busy time for the engineering/construction industry. This experience enables students to put into practice the many different skills, techniques and knowledge that are so important for success in the industry.

  • CET 211 - Construction Materials Testing

    3 Credit Hours


    Gives students the opportunity to learn some of the fundamental properties of construction materials such as concrete and asphalt through lectures, assigned readings, and laboratory testing. Course concentrates on the use of concrete and asphalt in construction, will examine mixing, placing, finishing, reinforcing, jointing, and curing. Emphasis placed on field procedures and laboratory testing. Prepares students to take examination for an ACI Certified Concrete Testing Technician, Grade 1.
