Developing Course Learning Outcomes)
Demonstrate the ability to read plans and
understand specifications associated with
heavy and highway projects
Investigate how heavy projects are bid
and how risks are controlled during the
estimating and purchasing process.
Evaluate the regulatory requirements for
heavy / highway projects including public
works procurement systems, quality
assurance testing, environmental
compliance, and traffic control.
Describe how water and wastewater
construction projects are designed and
constructed
Estimate earthwork volumes using mass
diagrams
Evaluate the economics of the equipment
used to excavate, load, haul, compact
and finish earthwork.
Develop a professional report that
describes and evaluates a concrete
forming system that can be used for
bridge, highway, or water/ wastewater
construction projects.
9. Refine professional management skills
including leadership, teamwork, and
written and oral communications.
