Areas ofapplication of the software within engineering include the use of projects,Prototypes, Point Labeling, and Digital Terrain Modeling. A basic introductionto the elements of roadway design will also be covered, includinghorizontal and vertical alignments, profiles and cross sections. Laboratoryis provided for students to practice these skills with the support ofthe instructor. (Prerequisite: AR 101 or permission of department headof Architectural Engineering Technology)CV 192 Civil Design 3-0-3This course explores how Autodesk Civil Design software works in concertwith AutoCAD Land Desktop software. The specific areas coveredin this class include an in-depth coverage of the roadway design and sitegrading tools as well as the tools available to automate the drafting ofpipe runs. The access to centralized project data through AutoDesk LandDesktop enables students to effectively utilize the civil engineering addonfor generating drawings for a project. (Prerequisite: CV 191 orpermission of department head of Architectural Engineering Technology)CV 193 Map/Survey 3-0-3This course introduces students to AutoDesk Map and Survey software.Map offers a varied range of functionality, including powerful drawingmanagement tools, drawing clean-up capabilities, topology creation andanalysis, and GIS linking of drawing objects to internal or external databases.AutoDesk Survey provides an interface to field surveying instrumentsthrough which field work is downloaded to produce point, symbolsand linework in an AutoCAD drawing environment. (Prerequisite:CV 192 or permission of department head of Architectural EngineeringTechnology)CV 201 Civil CAD 2-2-3This course is an introduction to the use of computer aided drawing anddesign software (CADD) for the civil engineering discipline. Areas ofapplication of the software within engineering include mapping, topography,site development, and subdivision. Within the field of highwaydesign the student applies civil design software to detail roadway alignmentand create final drawings of plan, profile and cross section. Laboratorytime is typically for the student to generate designs and drawingswith the support of the instructor. (Prerequisites: AR 104 and IT 102, orpermission of department head of Architectural Engineering Technology)CV 220 Surveying 2-3-3A course to familiarize students with the equipment, procedures, andmethodology of modern surveying practice. Includes measurement ofdistance, elevation, angle, and direction "in the field" with both manualand electronic equipment. The methods of topographic, construction,and route surveying are also studied. Lastly, the student is taught to usesoftware programs to aid in data collection, manipulation and map making.(Prerequisite: MT 133)CV 235 Reinforced Concrete Design 2-3-3To learn the fundamentals of design and analysis of steel reinforcedconcrete structures including beams, floor and roof slab systems, columns,foundation footings, and structural walls. Design sketches, basedon calculations and in accordance with the latest American ConcreteInstitute (ACI) Building Code Requirements, are prepared. Also a majorlaboratory project including designing, building and testing an eight footlong reinforced concrete beam is done by student teams. (Prerequisite:CV 240)CV 240 Timber and Steel Design 3-2-4The study of structural steel and timber members that involves the designand analysis of beams with regard to bending, shear, and deflection.Columns are studied with respect to axial and eccentric loading. Miscellaneousstructural elements such as beam bearing plates, column base plates,and welded and bolted connections are also designed. The student istaught first to make calculations manually, then with the aid of computersoftware. The laboratory time ( 2 hours per week ) is dedicated to avariety of activities where the student is fully involved not only in thedesign and analysis, but also in the construction and testing of timber andsteel beams, columns, connections, bracing systems, load packages andsimple frames. Finally, the observations and results are documented throughcalculations, drawings, photos and CADD. (Prerequisite: AR 120 and AR150)CV 297 Highway Design 3-2-4This course focuses on the highway design process, beginning with transportationrequirements and soil mechanics and continuing with highwaylocation, site planning, geometric design and pavement design. The knowledgegained equips students for project work. The course culminates withstudents' preparation (using CADD) and presentation of final engineeringdrawings of a section of roadway. This project is evaluated withrespect to alignment, safety, aesthetic impact, construction cost and professionalquality. Labs will involve the use of a soil testing lab and visitsto nearby road construction sites will be scheduled. (Prerequisite: CV220)Community Social ServiceCS 111 Community Social Services 3-0-3Provides an introduction to the history of care provided to people witha variety of disabilities and challenges. Presents and describes the principlesof community integration and social role valorization, discussesclient rights, quality of life, guardianship, and emerging issues in communitysocial services. Presents a model for evaluating the quality of communitysocial services.CS 112 Supportive Communication Skills 3-0-3This course introduces the theory and practice of the primary counselingskills and their application in various settings. Extensive role playingactivities will be used to teach these interpersonal skills.CS 115 Learning and Behavior 3-0-3This course discusses the history and principles of behaviorism and presentsa learning theory and teaching techniques based on positive behavioralprinciples. Presentation and discussion focus on the ethical andclient rights issues of positive behavior change, and recent trends andtechniques for applying learning principles in a variety of settings. (Prerequisite:CS 111 and PY 105)CS 116 Assessment and Individual Planning 3-0-3This course reviews the process for designing and implementing supportfor human service consumers. Presentation and discussion will includecurrent and evolving models for assessment and planning, as well as thefactors that influence achievement of individual plans. (Prerequisites: CS111, CS 115, PY 105, PY 220)Computer Aided DesignCD 101 CAD I 1-3-2Basic Training in the use of Computer Aided Drawing (CAD) includingentity creation, editing, dimensioning, file management, and plotting. A“hands on” approach will be taken while using PC based AutoCAD software.Applications will be taken from a variety of disciplines. This coursedoes not meet requirements for the MET/MFT programs.CD 102 CAD II 1-3-2A continuation of CD 101 into more advanced concepts in ComputerAided Drawing. Topics include wire frame, surface and solid modeling as
