CE 303: Change in course title and description Engineering Faculty Document No. 48-02 MEMORANDUM TO: The
Faculty of the Schools of Engineering FROM: The Faculty of
the School of Civil Engineering DATE: RE: CE 303:
Change in course title and course description The Faculty of the From: CE 303 Route and Construction Surveying Sem. 2. Class 2, lab. 3, cr. 3. Prerequisite: CE 200 or equivalent. Horizontal
alignment, simple horizontal curves, spiral easement curves, vertical
alignment, vertical parabolic curves, earthwork volumes, and location surveys;
construction layout surveys for buildings, bridges, pipelines, mines, offshore
dredging; optical tooling alignment; and industrial surveying. To: CE 303 Engineering Surveying Sem. 2. Class 2, lab. 3, cr. 3. Prerequisite: CE 203 or equivalent. Horizontal and
vertical control surveys on site and route projects for engineering design and
construction layout. Geometric
design of horizontal circular curves, spiral easement curves, and vertical
parabolic curves. Earthwork volume computation and balancing. Use of coordinate geometry
(COGO) design software including terrain and design surface modeling. Methods and tools used for construction
layout, as-built surveys, and industrial measurements. Reason: The course title and description are changed to reflect the
current course content and to better define the function of the course as an
elective in the Civil Engineering and Construction Engineering and Management
curriculums. The course is required in
the Land Surveying Engineering curriculum.
The course prerequisite is updated to the new introductory course in
surveying. ________________________
Fred L. Mannering, Head Supporting Documentation 1. Justification: The
revised course title and catalog description convey the breadth of topics
covered in this course. This course
emphasizes analytic geometry computations used to solve design problems
encountered in surveying and engineering.
Hand calculations and coordinate geometry (COGO) software solutions are
both used to solve a wide variety of problems in route alignment and
subdivision lot layout. At the end of
the course, students should be able to use COGO software to compute engineering
designs. Fundamental horizontal and
vertical curve design is covered with an emphasis on satisfying geometric
constraints and sight distance requirements.
Students use topographic maps, profiles, and cross sections to make
grading plans and compute earthwork quantities.
Applications of global positioning system (GPS) and laser scanning in
site and construction surveys are discussed. 2. Level:
Undergraduate level 3. Prerequisites: CE 203 or
equivalent. CE 203 is a new introductory
course that will replace CE 200 in the Land Surveying Engineering, Civil
Engineering, and Construction Engineering and Management curricula. 4. Instructor:
Steven D. Johnson 5. Course Objectives: At the conclusion of this course students
should be able to ·
Use
COGO software to solve problems used in route and subdivision design
computations. ·
Compute
all geometric and stakeout information for horizontal and vertical curves. ·
Design
horizontal and vertical curves to satisfy geometric constraints and sight
distance constraints. ·
Use
triangulated irregular network (TIN) modeling software to make surface models
for contour mapping and extraction of profiles and cross sections. ·
Interpolate
and interpret terrain contours. ·
Draw
graded contours and compute slope intercept for route projects and site
development. ·
Compute
earthwork quantities by borrow pit, graded contours, and cross section methods. ·
Use
