III: To Add a New Course Syllabus and assessment information is required (paste syllabus into
section V or attach). Course should have internal coherence and clear focus.
Common Course Numbering Review: Does an equivalent course exist elsewhere YES NO
in the MUS? Do the proposed abbreviation, number, title and credits align with
existing course(s)? Please indicate equivalent course/campus 
http://msudw.msu.montana.edu:9030/wfez/owa/musxfer.p_CCN_MAIN
Exact entry to appear in the next catalog (Specify course abbreviation, level, number, title, credits,
repeatability (if applicable), frequency of offering, prerequisites, and a brief description.) 
Justification: How does the course fit with the existing curriculum? Why is it needed?
Are there curricular adjustments to accommodate teaching this course?
Complete for UG courses. (UG courses should be assigned a 400 number).
Describe graduate increment (Reference guidelines: http://www.umt.edu/facultysenate/Grad/UG.htm)
Fees may be requested only for courses meeting specific conditions determined by the
Board of Regents. Please indicate whether this course will be considered for a fee.
If YES, what is the proposed amount of the fee?

Prerequisites
1. Current course information at it appears in catalog
(http://www.umt.edu/catalog) 
U 182T Computer Aided Design and Drafting 2 cr.
Offered autumn. Prereq., CAPP 120 (CRT 100) or
demonstrated computer experience. An introduction to
computer aided design and drafting software for
production of drawings and plans for architecture and
engineering systems. Fundamentals of two dimensional
drafting and drawing management for professional design.
U 175 Geospatial Technologies 3 cr. Offered Spring.
Basics of geospatial technologies; remotely sensed
imagery, GIS, and GPS and how each of the individual
areas can be used together to analyze spatial datasets.
Students will explore a wide range of spatial data and will
learn to apply these data sets to real-world solutions.
U 184 Civil Design Technologies 4 cr. Offered
spring. prereq. CRT 182T. Introduces students to
computer aided design software for common survey and
engineering design and drafting applications. Topics
include collection of survey data; the coordinate geometry
system; surfaces; subdivision and land planning; road
design and corridor modeling; utilities; site grading and
drainage; mapping; and 3D visualization.

3. If cross-listed course: secondary program & course
number
4. Is this a course with MUS Common Course Numbering? If yes, then will this change eliminate the
course’s common course status? Please explain below.
Computer Aided Design courses are still under review with the state FLOCs.
5. Graduate increment if level of course is changed to UG. Have you reviewed the graduate increment
guidelines? Please check (X) space provided.
Reference guidelines at:
http://www.umt.edu/facultysenate/Grad/UG.htm
(syllabus required in section V)
6. Other programs affected by the change
No
7. Justification for proposed change
The Computer Aided Design Certificate of
Applied Science was approved in May 2009 by
the Board of Regents. Until this point, computer
aided design courses have been offered through
the Computer Technology (CRT)) curriculum
rubrics. Creation of this new rubric will provide
an appropriate fit for permanent curriculum and
special topics offerings related to the certificate
program.
V. Syllabus/Assessment Information
Required for new courses and course change from U to UG. Paste syllabus in field below or attach and send
digital copy with form.
VI Department Summary (Required if several forms are submitted) In a separate document list course
number, title, and proposed change for all proposals.
