CADS 2100

Students will use surveying equipment to measure elevation, distance and direction of physical site properties. They will apply algebra, geometry, and trigonometry to perform calculations from survey data. Students will interpolate contour lines from survey elevation data and perform cut and fill calculations to determine site grading. Students will prepare a site plan drawing. They will explain soil bearing capacities for building sites and describe types of footings and foundations for building sites. Students will determine site grading for optimal drainage. They will prepare horizontal and vertical road alignment drawings. Students will use 3D modeling software for Civil applications to complete drawings​.
