Catalog Description: Roadway and street network design and site development using computersoftware, including grading and earthwork, runoff and drainage structures.Prerequisites: CE 2410 or CE 2411 or ENVE 2411; enrollment in the School of Engineering.(Recommended preparation: CE 2710)Course Learning Outcomes: At the end of this course, you will be able to:1. Perform a grading plan for site design.2. Perform earthwork calculations such as calculate cut-and-fill volumes for constructionsites.3. Estimate rate and volume of storm water runoff with various methods.4. Design storm water management systems.5. Identify different forms of zoning.6. Apply CAD tools (MicroStation, OpenRoads, AutoCAD) to design sites, contour maps,and roadways, and estimate drainage.ABET Criterion 3 Student Outcomes (addressed by the course):Criterion3ElementLeveladdressed(L, M, H)JustificationHStudents use basic engineering knowledge in solving designproject problems. Students develop the ability to design basiccivil engineering systems and take into account best practicesand the social and physical environment in which the designwill be implemented.HStudents develop the ability to design basic civil engineeringsystems taking into account design considerations, currentcodes, and environmental and land-use regulations according tobest management practices.3HStudents work with given site data, such as topography andintended use and must decide how to integrate the designproject with the site conditions.4MStudents develop the ability to communicate throughengineering drawings.12Course Requirements:Students will have a choice to take this course as Pass-Fail. They need to declare this directly tothe Registrar.v0-202001202

Handouts and/or pre-recorded lecturevideos will be uploaded to HuskyCT. It is recommended that the students read the handouts andv0-202001204

watch the videos as they are uploaded and take good notes. If they have any questions, they shouldattend the virtual student hours to get their questions answered.IMPORTANT: The online labs will be held synchronously during regular lab hours. The labtutorials will be uploaded to HuskyCT beforehand as it was done before the Spring break. Studentsare highly encouraged to do the lab following the tutorials and ask questions to the TA during thevirtual lab sessions. Effective March 23rd, every student will be given the bonus participationpoints whether or not they come to the virtual lab sessions even though it is strongly recommendedthat they attend the lab sessions as the lab homework and the project part 2 will still carry points,that will affect their overall score in the class.The lowest homework (incl. lab homework) grade will be dropped from the grade calculation.Please note that no homework (incl. lab homework) will be accepted after the deadline. However,I understand that unavoidable circumstances happen in our life. So if you cannot submit ahomework by the deadline for some reason, you may use the drop for such a case.Projects submitted late will be penalized by a 10% deduction per day up to three days past the duedate, unless you have contacted the instructor and made special arrangements. No projects will beaccepted for credit after three days past the due date. Exceptions to this rule require instructorapproval and must be made prior to the assignment’s due date.All quizzes / exams will be closed-book using Respondus 4.0 lockdown browser and monitor.Students will be notified beforehand if any changes are made to the way the quizzes and examsare administered.Final Exam:Final exam week for Spring 2020 semester takes place from Monday, May 4, through Saturday,May 9. Students are required to be available for their exam online during that time. Students mustcontact the Dean of Students Office well in advance if they cannot take their final exam during thescheduled time slot. The DOS Office will give them further instructions.Please note: vacations, previously purchased tickets or reservations, weddings (unless part of thewedding party), and other large or small scale social events, are not viable excuses for missing afinal exam.
