3D CIVIL COMPUTER-AIDED DESIGN

Catalog description

This is an advanced computer aided design course which demonstrates modern three dimensional terrain modeling techniques as well as digital civil design concepts. In addition to learning how to collect, refine, and model topographical data points in modern parametric CAD systems, students will generate detailed drawing sets, cost and feasibility studies of detailed projects, and industry standard presentations. Recent advances in base mapping, GPS, GIS, earthwork management, and watershed analysis are central to laboratory assignments. Students require solid knowledge of two and three dimensional CAD modeling and civil engineering standards related to site planning, codes, and topography.
