Civil Engineering Workshop

This competency-based course trains stu- dents how to apply technology as it relates to the construction industry. For workshop practice, the students will learn how to conduct the slump test on concrete, test concrete for compressive strength (PSI), test sand for bulking, silt content, organic matter and moisture content. Students will also conduct field work on the practical applications of measurement theories using surveying equipment. Students will learn how to use: Level, Theodolite, Electronic Distance Meter (EDM) and Total Station. This work- shop will expose students to the techniques of linear and angular measurements in plane surveying, topographic surveying and mapping, and volumes measurements.
