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.
Introduces AutoCAD by working with templates, creating and manipulating layers; basic drawing and editing commands, annotation and dimensions, and utilize inquiry tools, along with blocks, attributes, and plotting. Students will also develop the ability to use basic commands within AutoCAD Civil 3D, from importing survey data and parcel features, to alignments and profile generation, and will also spend time learning the custom user interface, core styles (used to display Civil 3D objects), and utilizing coordinate systems to start drawing files.
Provides an introduction to Statics related to Engineering including the following topics; general static principals; force vectors; force system resultants; structural analysis (including simple trusses, zero-force members, and method of sections); characteristics of friction (including dry friction, wedges, and rolling resistance); center of gravity; and moments of inertia.
This Basic Motorcycle Rider course consists of classroom and range instruction designed for beginning riders and was developed by the Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF). The Basic Rider Course covers preparing to ride, turning, shifting and braking, street strategies, special situations, increasing riding skills, maintenance and insurance. Instructors are certified by the MSF and Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT). It is taught off-street, out of traffic, and motorcycles and helmets are provided. In addition there is a 5 hour ECourse that must be completed within 30 days prior to class(fees for ECourse are included in the overall class price).
This Basic Motorcycle Rider 2 course consists of classroom and range instruction designed for riders with their Wisconsin Motorcycle Instruction Permit who are either returning to riding or are seeking a refresher course to practice and/or seeking their motorcycle license or endorsement (already licensed or endorsed riders may also participate). Any person over the age of 16 may enroll in this course. The student must already possess basic riding skills such as starting out, stopping, and turning. Students must bring their own 2 wheel motorcycle which may be a manual or automatic. Students must provide proof of registration and insurance for the motorcycle they will be using. In addition there is a 4 hour ECourse that must be completed within 30 days prior to class(fees for ECourse are included in the overall class price) The in-person portion consists of eight range exercises, including a screening exercise to verify participants have sufficient skill to continue. This course may also be used to waive the road test when applying for the Wisconsin Motorcycle license, as long as the student also completes the E-Course.
Provides learners with an opportunity to apply the theory, skills, and techniques they have learned so far in the program to real-world businesses and projects in conjunction with a regional Civil Engineering employer.
Provides an introduction to Civil Engineering Technology and includes key areas of knowledge such as: a history of Civil Engineering and its disciplines; Engineering ethics; Basic drafting techniques, including measurement and scaling, sheet format and layout, dimensioning and line work, orthographic projection, and isometric drawings; an introduction to Civil Engineering plans, specifications, and estimates; an introduction to Project Management, including an overview of a project life cycle; Microsoft Windows Office programs and related skills such as file and document management; and resume and portfolio preparation for those in the Civil Engineering field.
Builds upon the knowledge gained in previous surveying courses to provide additional advanced surveying concepts including key areas of knowledge such as: geodetic applications; state plan coordinates, construction staking methods, calculating volumes, photogrammetry, and an introduction to Geographic Informational Systems. Fieldwork experiences will include construction staking of horizontal curves, vertical curves, and other civil engineering project features.
Provides an introduction to surveying and mapping for Civil Engineering and includes foundational knowledge in these skills including: basic surveying principles; history of land surveying; laws governing property; property rights; instruments in the field; basic surveying computations; and using and generating survey maps.
Introduces transportation infrastructure design and includes important areas of knowledge including: the history of transportation engineering; basic roles of transportation engineering (including planning, design, general operations, and overall management); introduction to design concepts (including alignment & profile, typical sections, intersection design, pedestrian & bicycle accommodations, parking lot layout, and runways & taxiways); traffic control and staging; and an overview of design plans, details, and design requirements for different transportation project types.
