CE-UY 3533 Construction Site Layout and Surveying

3 Credits

This course studies the practical applications of surveying and its relationship to site planning and design. The first portion of the course concentrates on land surveying concepts, including mathematics, horizontal and vertical control, and angle measurement. The second portion of the course applies surveying data to site layout using traverses, area computations, property surveys, topography, and construction layout for highway and building applications. This course also includes a field laboratory which introduces students to basic surveying practice, including the use of surveying equipment (wheels, tapes, levels, and theodolites), measurements theory and computation, data accuracy and precision, and the use of the field book to properly record data.

Prerequisite(s): CE-UY 2504 or CE-UY 2513 or CE-UY 2523 or CE-UY 2533 or permission of the Construction Management Program Advisor

In order to ensure that students are adequately prepared for upper-level Construction Management courses (CE-UY 35xx and CE-UY 45xx), the following prerequisites apply:

1. All CE-UY 25xx courses require CE-UY 1002 or sophomore standing;

2. One CE-UY 25xx course must be completed before enrolling in any CE-UY 35xx or 45xx course;

3. A second CE-UY 25xx course is a co-requisite for a second CE-UY 35xx or CE-UY 45xx course; and

4. CE-UY 2533 is required. (This is only with regard to the minor. It is also required for all BS CE students.)
