Short Title : Construction Estimating
Course Code : CIT-125
Department Description : Engineering Technologies
Course Description :
An introduction to drawing and quantity takeoff with related material and labor costs used in the construction industry. Students will examine and interpret construction drawings to determine quantities and related costs of materials and labor. Topics will include: area and volume calculations, use of engineering scales, material costs, labor costs, overhead and profit. Laboratory projects reinforce the lecture material and emphasize proper estimating procedures and format. The students will be exposed to Microsoft Excel in preparation of the material and cost summaries. Students will prepare a quantity estimate for a small construction project. Basic discussions will be presented for cost estimating of residential and commercial construction projects. Unit cost estimating will be incorporated in the proposed estimate. Specifications and specification standards will be reviewed as set forth by the CSI.

Short Title : Advanced Civil Drawing/CAD-II
Course Code : CIT-126
Department Description : Engineering Technologies
Course Description : A study and execution of drawings encountered in civil and construction engineering. Topics include: structural steel fabrication, reinforced concrete drawings, plot plans and customization of the AutoCAD menu system. Drawings will be generated using surveyor's notes and calculations associated with horizontal and vertical control survey plans, deed plans and topographical plans. All drawings are developed using AutoCAD software. Students will use Land Development CAD and the Architectural Desktop to facilitate creating these drawings. The completion of a comprehensive final project is required.
Prerequisites :
- Credit : 3
- Lecture Hours : 1
- Lab Hours : 4

Short Title : Advanced Mechanical Drawing/CAD II
Course Code : MEC-125
Department Description : Engineering Technologies
Course Description :
The study of mechanical working drawings including detail, assembly, piping and welding drawings. Also included are dimensioning techniques, geometric dimensioning and tolerancing, fits and tolerances of mating parts, threads, fasteners, and surface finish. Advanced use of CAD(Computer-Aided Drafting) software that includes creating template files, drawing layouts/paper space, blocks, attributes, external references, revision tables, notes and BOM (Bill of Material). Introduction to piping and welding drawings. Introduction to solid modeling, including part creation and orthographic and isometric drawing creation. The completion of a comprehensive final project is required.
Prerequisites :
- Credit : 3
Short Title : Construction Estimating
Course Code : CIT-125
Department Description : Engineering Technologies
Course Description : An introduction to drawing and quantity takeoff with related material and labor costs used in the construction industry. Students will examine and interpret construction drawings to determine quantities and related costs of materials and labor. Topics will include: area and volume calculations, use of engineering scales, material costs, labor costs, overhead and profit. Laboratory projects reinforce the lecture material and emphasize proper estimating procedures and format. The students will be exposed to Microsoft Excel in preparation of the material and cost summaries. Students will prepare a quantity estimate for a small construction project. Basic discussions will be presented for cost estimating of residential and commercial construction projects. Unit cost estimating will be incorporated in the proposed estimate. Specifications and specification standards will be reviewed as set forth by the CSI.
