- CIV 171 - Surveying I
- Introduces surveying equipment, procedures and computations including adjustment of instruments, distance measurement, leveling, angle measurement, traversing, traverse adjustments, area computations and introduction to topography.Lecture 2 hours. Laboratory 3 hours. Total 5 hours per week.
Prerequisite: Engineering Technical Math or divisional approval.3 credits - CIV 172 - Surveying II
- Introduces surveys for transportation systems including the preparation and analysis of topographic maps, horizontal and vertical curves, earthwork and other topics related to transportation construction.Lecture 2 hours. Laboratory 3 hours. Total 5 hour per week.
Prerequisite: CIV 171 or equivalent.3 credits - CIV 195 - Topics In
- Provides an opportunity to explore topical areas of interest to or needed by students.May be used also for special honors courses. May be repeated for credit. Variable hours.
1-5 credits - CIV 241 - Applied Hydraulics and Drainage I
- Presents the basic fundamentals of hydrology and hydraulics to the practical problems of drainage design. The use of design aids with supportive theory is stressed to insure an understanding of the background, the theory of development, basic assumptions and limitations of the various methods of estimating storm water run off and hydraulic structure design. Part I of II.Lecture 3 hours per week.
3 credits - CIV 274 - Advanced Geomatics
- Teaches the art, science, and technologies used in the determination of position. Introduces survey statistics, coordinate systems and datums, principles of photogrammetry, mapping, map projections, boundary surveys, public land surveys, Global Positioning System (GPS), and Geographic Information System (GIS) concepts. Prepares students for applicable areas of the State Land Surveyor Examination and the Land Surveyors-in-Training Examination.Lecture 3 hours. Total 3 hours per week.
3 credits - CIV 275 - Advanced Geomatics Laboratory
- Provides the opportunity to use instrumentation to conduct topographic, layout, curve, profile, property, boundary, and control surveys. Focuses on the use of level, total station, and GPS units.Laboratory 3 hours. Total 3 hours per week.
