In this course students implement a capstone technical project proposed and designed in CIVL 7001. Each student must do research, prepare a plat/map, conduct a formal oral presentation and submit a comprehensive written report.
A student may contract for one to six credit hours of independent study through an arrangement with an instructor who agrees to direct such a study or project. The student will submit a plan acceptable to the instructor and to the department chairperson. The instructor and student will confer regularly regarding the progress of the study.

This course is an overview of how green building will impact contracts and building in the construction industry. As the nature of green building is continually emerging and evolving, field research will be required of students. Topics in LEED, leadership in energy efficient design, and their impact on contractors will be presented.
This course is the first of a two-semester sequence required for all Land Surveying Engineering Technology Bachelor seniors. Students design and implement a technical project for completion of BSET 8003. Project proposal and oral reports are presented for initial approval by department faculty. Weekly seminar encompasses professional licensure examination preparation, aspects of post-graduation professional employment, review of initial project proposal and consultation on project progress.
This course focuses on environmental technology systems. Topics covered in the course include: basic environmental concepts, water quality, water pollution, drinking water, stormwater management, wastewater treatment, municipal solid waste, hazardous waste, air pollution, noise pollution, erosion control and environmental assessments. The student will analyze a site plan to determine the "best practice" solutions to storm water management challenges using industry standards.
This course is an in depth study of the documents and processes for construction project administration, including submittals, subcontracting, expediting, pay procedures, closeout, and reporting. This course culminates in a simulated construction project where students assume various stakeholder roles.
MATH 6114 with "D" or better or MATH 4114 with "D" or better
Description:
This course will introduce, and/or review the main concepts of a number of advanced subjects from the surveyor's perspective - for example: geodesy, geodetic surveying, map projections, global positioning systems, hydrographics surveying, mine and mineral surveying, deformation studies, total station/data collector interfaces to computer, as well as a projection of future trends. Pertinent activities from the professional associations will also be addressed.
Students will develop a construction project management logic diagram for large multi-phased projects. The students will use software for scheduling, monitoring, and "crashing" projects to evaluate alternatives to reduce time to completion and to ensure cost effectiveness and safety considerations.
This course examines how people and machines interact to build efficient systems that improve productivity in the construction industry. This course will document existing and emerging construction systems and will delve extensively into the production capacity and uses of construction equipment. This course culminates with a project to design equipment spreads for an earthwork project.
