LSCE1527

Students will perform calculations related to the civil engineering and land surveying industry. These include: geometry, trigonometry, volumes, bearings/azimuths, latitudes/departures, and area traverse calculations. Students will learn terminology regarding horizontal and vertical curves, and also learn how to calculate key stations and elevations along these curves.Student Learning Outcomes
