17 courses with the subject CIV, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
CIV 110Introduction to Civil Engineering Technology2
Introduces basic skills required for a career in civil engineering technology, focusing on the roles and responsibilities of the engineering team, professional ethics, problem solving with hand calculator and computer applications. Introduces civil engineering materials and analysis, standard laboratory procedures and reporting, and engineering graphics, including instruction in Computer Aided Drafting. Instructs students in oral presentation preparations and delivery. Lecture 1 hour. Laboratory 2 hours.
Teaches the equipment and methods used in construction. Includes principles and economics of construction, planning and management, and principles of estimating primarily using highway and building project examples.
Teaches the art, science, and technologies used in the determination of position. Introduces basic plane surveying measurements and computations for horizontal, vertical and angular measurement, traversing, area, simple curves, topography, and construction surveys, and introduces Geographic Information Systems.
Eligible to enroll in MTH 161 or higher. Lecture 3 hours.
CIV 175Geomatics Laboratory1
Teaches use of instrumentation to make basic plane surveying measurements for horizontal, vertical, and angular measurement, and includes construction survey and layout. Focuses on the use of pacing techniques, steel tape, level, and total stations.
Introduces the various materials available for design and construction. Covers application and combination of traditional materials and recent innovations in construction systems. Lecture 3 hours.
Focuses on soil in its relationship to engineering construction. Includes soil composition and structure, weight-volume relationships, sampling procedures, classification systems, water in soil, stresses, strains, bearing capacity, settlement and expansion, compaction, stabilization, and introduction to foundations and retaining walls.
Introduces practical soil sampling; classification of unified, ASTM and ASSHTO specifications; laboratory testing of soils to predict engineering performance.
Introduces the basic properties of Portland Cement concrete, soils and bituminous materials. Includes design and composition, placement, sampling and testing of concrete, soils, and asphalt cements used in civil engineering construction. Lecture 3 hours. Laboratory 2 hours.
CIV 240 or instructor permission. Laboratory 2 hours.
CIV 240Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulics3
Introduces the principles of fluid flow and development of practical hydraulics resulting from study of fluid statics, flow of real fluid in pipes, multiple pipe lines, liquid flow in open channels and fluid measurement techniques.
CIV 256Global Positioning Systems for Land Surveying3
Introduces principles of satellite-based surveying and presents Global Positioning System (GPS) as it is utilized in land surveying and the various components of the GPS technology and the techniques through which the GPS technology may be used in land surveys. Utilizes field surveys using the GPS equipment as part of the laboratory activities. [This course covers the same content as GIS 256. Credit will not be granted for both courses]. Lecture 2 hours. Laboratory 3 hours.
CIV 257Mapping Standards, Virginia Rules and Statutes and Surveying Law3
Presents both theory and practical mapping experience in the preparation of subdivision maps, records of surveys, topographic maps, route and rights-of-way maps. Covers the requirements of the Subdivision Map Act and the Land Surveyors Act. Presents techniques for the reduction of field survey notes and the preparation of improvement plans. Prepares students for areas of the Land Surveyors-in-Training and the State Land Surveyors examinations. Lecture 3 hours.
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.
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.
CIV 295Introduction to Geographical Information Systems for Surveyors3
Provides an introduction to concepts, terminologies and methods of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and mapping with applications in land surveying. Lecture 2 hours. Laboratory 3 hours.
