DESCRIPTION 

PREREQUISITE ABBREV (If any) 

CIVIL - 101; Engineering Drawing 

The methods, techniques, and equipment 

used in the civil engineering profession are 

studied. Drafting principles of geometric 

construction and orthographic projection are 

applied. Basic civil engineering drawings are 

reviewed, including subdivision mapping, 

plan and profiles, cross sections, and site and 

grading plans. 




CIVIL - 102; Introduction to AutoCAD 

The advantages of computer-aided drafting 

(CAD) are explored. Drawing entities such as 

lines, circles and text, along with editing 

commands such as erase, trim, and copy, are 

used to produce two-dimensional, scaled, and 

dimensioned drawings. Layer, block array, 

and plot techniques are also studied. 



CIVIL - 105; Computer Applications 

Computer applications such as word 

processing and spreadsheet usage are 

covered. Calculator methods and 

programming with the TI-86 scientific 

programmable calculator are included. 





CIVIL - 106; Intermediate AutoCAD 

This course is designed to expand the use of 

2D AutoCAD. The course will cover advanced 

editing techniques, the use of multiple scale 

factors for drawings, attributed blocks, the CIVIL-102. 

use of xref's, and advanced dimensioning. 

System variables and basic script files are 

also studied. 




CIVIL - 107; Introduction to Microstation 

The basic fundamentals of using Microstation 

software are explored. Drawing, placing, 

manipulating and modifying elements are 

covered. Additional topics include drafting aid 

features, cells, reference files, advanced 2D 

techniques, dimensioning, annotating, and 

plotting.




CIVIL - 132; Building Estimating 

Estimating techniques for civil engineering 

projects are covered. Students work with 

checklists, cost records, price lists and labor 

probabilities, including software usage, to 

make quantity surveys for material costs, 

labor costs, equipment costs, and overhead 

and profit. 




CIVIL - 135; Public Works Engineering and Estimating 

The basic principles of planning, design, 

construction and operation of public works 

facilities, such as water, wastewater, solid 

waste, and transportation systems are 

discussed. Estimating techniques for civil 

engineering projects are covered. 




CIVIL - 141; Statics and Strength of Materials 

The principles of static equilibrium are 

applied to free bodies. Students study the 

behavior of simple structures under load. The 

properties of the cross section are 

MATH-115 and MATH-116 or concurrent 

determined and used in the analysis of registration in MATH-116. 

stress, deflection and strain. Compression, 

tension, shear and bending stresses are 

analyzed. 




CIVIL - 142; Structures 

General structural behavior with respect to 

live and dead loading, wind loading, 

earthquake loading and transfer of loads 

throughout a structure by diaphragms and 

shear walls are studied. The principles of 

CIVIL-141. 

structural steel, reinforced concrete, and 

timber structures are studied, including the 

codes of practice for each. Different types of 

foundations are presented and basic 

foundation design principles are studied.




CIVIL - 147; Soils and Materials Testing 

The purpose of this course is to gain an 

understanding of the engineering properties 

of construction materials and soils. Lab tests 

are performed on soil, aggregates, concrete 

and steel. The results of these tests are then 

MATH-115 or concurrent registration in 

used to determine the strengths and 

MATH-115. 

weaknesses of each material related to their 

use in civil engineering. WisDOT Certification 

for PCCTec I/IA (Portland Cement Concrete 

Technician) is also available as part of this 

course. 




CIVIL - 148; Structural Detailing 

This course is an introduction to detailing as 

performed by structural fabricators and 

structural engineering consultants. It includes 

structural steel detailing, utilizing standard 

shapes produced by rolling mills to make 

girders, beams and columns and their 

associated connections. Metal building 

detailing is also studied and compared to the 

conventional steel detailing. The AISC Manual 

of Steel Construction is used throughout this 

portion of the course. There is also an 

introduction to the detailing required for 

concrete structures. Poured-in-place, as well 

as precast structural members, standard 

reinforcing details and field considerations 

are reviewed. 

CIVIL-102 and CIVIL-142 or concurrent 

registration in CIVIL-142. 




CIVIL - 155; Surveying 1 

The principles of surveying are presented and 

the use of surveying tools and instruments in 

the application of these principles is covered. 

Taping, leveling and basic total station 

operation use are included. The methods of 

measurement and the processing of 

measurement data are studied. 



CIVIL - 156; Surveying 2 

The principles of surveying are continued, 

with emphasis on traverse procedures and 

calculations. The theodolite, EDM, total 

station GPS and data collector are used for 

topographic and construction surveys. The 

uses of COGO are also covered. 


CIVIL-155 and MATH-115.





CIVIL - 157; Route and Highway Surveying 

Horizontal and vertical alignment field 

problems and theory are covered. Geometric 

design, including circular horizontal curves, 

vertical curves, sight distance, 

CIVIL-156. 

superelevation, cross sections and earthwork 

is studied. Also, a roadway plan and profile 

are prepared. 



CIVIL - 158; Land Surveying 

The US Public Land Survey is reviewed. 

Minimum standards for property surveys are 

covered. Subdivision regulations and 

mapping requirements for CSM and 

subdivision plats are also studied. Also, the 

principles of control surveys, state plane 

coordinates, GPS, and astronomical 

observations are reviewed. 


CIVIL-157. 




CIVIL - 160; Legal Elements of Land Surveying 

This course covers the techniques of 

boundary location from the interpretation of 

written deeds. Principles are drawn from 

precedents established by the courts. CIVIL-156. 

Wisconsin Administrative Code A-E7 and 

Wisconsin Statutes Chapter 236 are 

reviewed. 



CIVIL - 161; Boundary Location 

The principles and practice of boundary 

locations are presented. The public land 

system is covered in detail. Principles for 

performing surveys will be discussed. 


CIVIL-156. 




CIVIL - 170; Sewer and Water Systems 

The principles of design and construction of 

water distribution, sanitary sewer and storm 

sewer systems are studied including the
