In this course, learners identify the key principles of roadway design and surveying construction using Wisconsin's Department of Transportation's Facility Design Manual. Students model and design aspects of roadways including horizontal alignments, vertical profiles, super elevations, pavement designs, construction considerations, etc. Learners survey an existing location, develop a proposed roadway profile, and layout construction staking for the proposed project. Upon completion of this course, learners will be able to summarize the key processes required to develop a proposed roadway.

The student will prepare and present oral and written technical reports. Types of reports may include lab and field reports, proposals, technical letters and memos, technical research reports, and case studies. This course is designed as an advanced communication course for students who have completed at least the prerequisite introductory writing course.

In this course, learners apply industry codes for the assessment of damaged and deteriorated Portland cement concrete members in order to inspect, analyze, and classify the distress in concrete structures. Industry practices for repairing damaged members containing these distresses will be identified. Upon completion of the course, learners will be able to inspect existing concrete members in order to choose potential industry options for repair.

In this course, learners assess boundary locations via research of public and private records. Learners interpret principles of evidence and the interpretation of written documents used in boundary determination, apply surveying methods for measuring distance and angular values, and demonstrate surveying practices including note keeping, computation, and writing descriptions. Upon completion of the course, learners examine boundary locations based on the study of the Wisconsin Statutes and local ordinances relating to the preparation of subdivision maps and plats.

This is an introductory course into GIS (Geographical Information Systems), GIS terminology, data structure, and data analysis based on spatial parameters. Students learn how to manipulate, parse, combine, and even build basic geographical databases. Applications ranging from land record management to marketing to political science are addressed.

This course covers the legal concepts and doctrines related to land, land ownership, duties and responsibilities of surveyors, and Wisconsin statutes and local codes.

The Civil Engineering Technician Highway capstone course is designed to guide students in resolving related problems by applying skills and techniques acquired throughout the program. The capstone course will provide an overall program assessment opportunity aimed at showcasing a student's technical skills developed from the Civil Engineernig Technology Highway program courses.

Using the latest hydraulic software along with the Standard Specifications for Sewer and Water in Wisconsin, students will learn the basic applications of hydrology and hydraulics for various applications including run off calculations and design of culverts, storm sewers, detention basins, etc. Students will also be aquainted with the principles and software applications in designing roadway drainage, water and sewer lines.

This course introduces students to some of the major theories and topics of psychology, including the physiological basis of behavior, personality and learning theories, memory, states of consciousness, stress, research methods, intelligence, human development, psychopathology, and social behavior.

This course is an introduction to the concepts and creation of Building Information Modeling (BIM) projects including the extrapolation of schedules, plans, sections and elevations from the BIM using Autodesk Revit software.
