Description

This course expands on knowledge gained in CIVE 270, Project and Construction Management I, and students will further their understanding of managing a civil engineering project. Topics covered include project planning, interpreting construction drawings, take-offs, scope management, coordination and communication, and inspection. Students will learn about critical path analysis, scheduling the construction process, cost control, and documentation procedures. Construction safety and security will be emphasized throughout the course.

Description

This course provides students with the opportunity to work as a team to plan and execute a civil engineering design project. Students will work with a faculty advisor to complete their project on schedule and to an appropriate industry standard. The formal written report will be submitted in conjunction with ENGL 252, Technical Writing and Communication, and teams will present their findings to faculty and peers.

Description

This course explores the concepts involved in managing a typical civil engineering project. Topics covered include fundamentals of construction, estimating, contract law and contract administration. Students will learn about safety and training, construction equipment and methods, preparation of contracts, permitting requirements, and budgeting procedures. The importance of ethical behaviour while managing a project will be emphasized throughout.

Description

Lab

Description

This course explores planning and design of a residential subdivision using the Local Government Act, municipal bylaws, and zoning guidelines. Using computer-aided design (CAD) software, students will prepare drawings showing lot layout, roadways, intersections, site servicing, stormwater management, open space, and pedestrian circulation. Additional topics covered include land-use planning, stakeholder involvement, the development and rezoning process, and calculation and analysis of development costs.

Lab

Description

This course explores the fundamentals of traffic planning in an urban setting. Students learn about data collection techniques, analysis of traffic patterns, roadway and intersection capacity limits and layout, and preparation of traffic management plans. Topics covered include traffic control devices, signal timing, impacts from development, signalized, unsignalized and roundabout intersections, parking, pedestrian and bicycle facility requirements, and crash analysis using historical data.

Description

This course explores the use of computer software to conduct analyses and produce civil engineering designs. Students will learn to use spreadsheets and computer programming to automate routine computational analyses. Emphasis will be placed on practical civil engineering applications, and course content will be explored through a combination of lectures, computer lab simulations and a project.

Description

Lab

Description

This course explores the design of resource roads, urban streets and rural highways according to applicable guidelines and standards. Topics include roadway classification, corridor requirements, vertical and horizontal elements, and properties of road cross-sections. Students will prepare designs and drawings for the different road types with focus on drainage, intersections and earthworks balancing.

Description

Lab

Description

This course explores the concepts of land development and the application of industry-standard software to prepare engineering plans. Topics covered include property rights and ownership, the consultation process, subdivision requirements, survey types and legal constraints, drawing templates, surface analysis, and collection, interpretation and use of field and digital data. Students will complete a land development project drawing package that meets municipal standards.

Description

Lab

Description

This course expands on knowledge gained in CIVE 250, Municipal Design I. Students will prepare an industry-standard engineering package, including plan and profile drawings detailing utility servicing, for a residential subdivision. Topics covered include site preparation, utility sizing and alignment, site drainage, culvert analysis and erosion protection, and domestic water and fire protection criteria. Use of local bylaws and applicable guidelines will be a focus throughout the course.

Description

The practicum introduces the learner to the early care and learning environment. Learners gain practical experience working with young children and families while working under a licensed early childhood educator. Under supervision the learner is given the opportunity to plan, implement, and evaluate contextually appropriate curriculum activities. Learners are required to attend a weekly two-hour seminar.
