Advanced Civil 3D 10607110

3.00 credits

Civil Engineering Technology

Utilizes the knowledge gained in previous semesters to build more complex design models, add new features, and analyze their designs even further, with functions like vehicle tracking, quantity take Off tools, and storm & sanitary analysis. Provides a deeper development of complex corridor targeting in roadway design and advanced grading tools for site designs, all while adding additional underground utilities to our design models and plan sets. These tools will then again be used to create accurate construction models and plans sets ready for practical use.
