The student will prepare and present oral and written technical reports. Types of reports may include lab and field reports, proposals, technical letters and memos, technical research reports, and case studies. This course is designed as an advanced communication course for students who have completed at least the prerequisite introductory writing course.

In this course, learners assess boundary locations via research of public and private records. Learners interpret principles of evidence and the interpretation of written documents used in boundary determination, apply surveying methods for measuring distance and angular values, and demonstrate surveying practices including note keeping, computation, and writing descriptions. Upon completion of the course, learners examine boundary locations based on the study of the Wisconsin Statutes and local ordinances relating to the preparation of subdivision maps and plats.

In this course, learners apply industry codes for the assessment of damaged and deteriorated Portland cement concrete members in order to inspect, analyze, and classify the distress in concrete structures. Industry practices for repairing damaged members containing these distresses will be identified. Upon completion of the course, learners will be able to inspect existing concrete members in order to choose potential industry options for repair.

This course includes instruction in the use of instruments used in the field of construction surveying, such as the transit, level, and chains, and their application in the solving of typical field problems. The student does the field work and office computations required in the solution of these problems.

This course is designed to introduce the concepts of overall construction project management including scheduling, resource allocation, cost and technical constraints.

Using MicroStation, the student will prepare standard drawings typically used in the field of Civil Engineering...including Title Pages, Typical Sections, Plan & Profiles, Cross Sections, Sewer Profiles, Alignment Tie Sheets, etc.

This course introduces students to some of the major theories and topics of psychology, including the physiological basis of behavior, personality and learning theories, memory, states of consciousness, stress, research methods, intelligence, human development, psychopathology, and social behavior.

This course is an introduction to the concepts and creation of Building Information Modeling (BIM) projects including the extrapolation of schedules, plans, sections and elevations from the BIM using Autodesk Revit software.

This course is an introduction to the concepts and creation of Digital Terrain Models (DTM) including the extrapolation of contours, profiles and cross sections from the DTM using Autodesk Civil3D software.

This course is an introduction to the basics of land surveying ranging from pacing/taping and level loops thru the use of a total station to accomplish basic traverses. This course also includes an introduction to drawing deed descriptions, basic surveying terms, and units of measure.
