Civil Engineering (CGN)

Introduction to elementary surveying practices such as autolevel, total station, global positioning system (GPS) as well as covering highlights of construction materials, tools, and techniques. In addition geomatics, the study of spatially related data, will be introduced. Instruction will cover the integrated approach of measurement, analysis, and management of the descriptions and locations of Earth-based data. This course is inquiry based and fully integrated with field experience that emphasizes active learning strategies.

Introduction to the basics of geographic information systems, their software and hardware, and their applications in civil and environmental engineering.

Civil engineering capstone design is a cornerstone in engineering education. During this course the students will assimilate the engineering concepts acquired in previous courses into the design of a major civil engineering project, including where appropriate developing alternative solutions, plans and specifications and an oral and written presentation of their final design to their clients. Previously CGN 4802C, ended 201408.

Topics in civil engineering not covered by other courses. Instructor Permission required.
