CEG 115 Introduction to Tech & Sustainability (2-3-3)
Corequisites: CIS 110 and DMA 010 - DMA 080
This course introduces basic skills, sustainability concepts and career elds for technicians.
Topics include career options, technical vocabulary, dimensional analysis, measurement systems, engineering graphics, professional ethics, and related topics. Upon completion, students should be able to identify drawing elements and create sketches, perform basic engineering computations and identify measures of sustainable development.
CEG 210 Construction Materials & Methods (2-3-3)
Prerequisite: CIS 110 and DMA 010 - DMA 080
This course covers the behavior and properties of Portland cement, asphaltic concretes,
and other construction materials, including construction methods and equipment.
