CIVE 2220 Civil Engineering Measurements
This course provides students the opportunity to understand how accurate and precise measurements are critical in civil engineering and introduces the "language of civil engineering" by providing the students an opportunity to learn how to "read it" (understanding engineering drawings) and "write it" (learning and practicing basic Computer-Aided Drafting -CAD). In this course, which consists of lecture and laboratory sessions, students are presented the basic principles of land surveying (plane surveying) and learn how to read design and construction drawings using "real-world" projects; they are also exposed to CAD software used in civil engineering. All of these skills are critical for students, since they are often required in upper-level classes and to qualify for internships and entry-level jobs in the AEC industry (Architecture, Engineering and Construction).
